Glued intrascleral haptic fixation yields fewer complications than transscleral suturing

Intrascleral haptic fixation with fibrin glue provides less traumatic and more stable IOL positioning that sutured scleral fixation, leading to better visual outcomes and fewer complications, according to a study.
The comparison was made in a tertiary care center in New Delhi, India, between two groups of 20 patients each with aphakia and absence of capsular support in which sutured transscleral fixation (group 1) or glued intrascleral haptic fixation (group 2) techniques were used.
At the end of the 6-month follow-up, visual acuity was better in group 2, probably due (Read more...)
