Abstract
The long-term results obtained by a modified method of scleral suturing of posterior chamber lenses (PCLs) (Behndig & Otto 1997) were retrospectively registered and evaluated. Forty-four patients with insufficient capsular support for ordinary PCL implantation were included. Mean follow-up time was 13.1 +/- 6.4 months and registered parameters included visual acuity, deviation from planned refractive outcome, induced astigmatism, and complications. The results were comparable to those reported earlier for this type of surgery. It has previously been stated that scleral suturing of posterior chamber lenses is a safe procedure with good long-term results. This modified method produces comparable results while being more surgically simple and reproducible.
