Abstract
To describe the use of fascia lata to cover the polypropylene knots of scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOL). Fascia lata was used to cover the knots of scleral fixated PCIOL in 5 eyes with significant scleral thinning. Four of the 5 eyes had the PCIOL insertion and the fascia lata patching in the same setting. The fifth eye previously had scleral fixated PCIOL with late suture erosion through a partial thickness scleral flap. There was no suture exposure or graft thinning throughout a follow-up period of 8 to 16 months. The eyes tolerated the fascia lata well with no early or late postoperative complications. Fascia lata provides an effective means to cover the knots of scleral fixated PCIOL, especially in aphakic patients with significant scleral thinning.
