FRANKFURT, Germany — In children’s eyes with insufficient capsular support, intrascleral IOL fixation with the Yamane technique leads to good visual outcomes and few intraoperative and postoperative complications.
At the ESCRS winter meeting, Vladimir Pfeifer, MD, presented the results of this technique in 19 eyes of children aged between 4 and 14 years, with a mean follow-up of 3 years and one case up to 6 years. Nine were idiopathic ectopic lens cases, eight were secondary to Marfan syndrome, and two were secondary to homocystinuria.
Best corrected visual acuity was 20/100
