Transscleral IOL fixation with CTR yields improved vision, stability in pediatric ectopia lentis
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Transscleral fixation of an IOL using a capsular tension ring in children with ectopia lentis yielded improved vision and long-term IOL stability, according to a study.“There is no consensus currently for the best surgical management of patients with ectopia lentis,” Julia M. Byrd, MD, said at the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus meeting. “This is partly because it is a fairly rare disease in kids and partly because we don’t have great long-term data for different surgical techniques in this population.”
