Supracapsular glued IOL in progressive subluxated cataract maintains intact vitreous face
Progressive causes of zonular dehiscence may be associated with late subluxations and dislocations of the IOL. The general strategies to avoid this include either two- or three-point fixation of the capsular bag during primary surgery even in lesser degrees of subluxations or a lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy and scleral/iris fixation of the IOL. The latter leads to anterior hyaloid face and vitreous disturbance with consequent disadvantages.One of the authors (Jacob) described a technique in 2013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpkMsVaDvnA) for supracapsular fixation of a glued IOL in order to retain an intact anterior (Read more...)
