Vitreolensectomy combined with intraocular lens implantation by single haptic scleral suturing for the traumatic lens subluxation

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of vitreolensectomy combined with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation by single haptic scleral suturing for the treatment of traumatic lens subluxation. Methods The data of 18 eyes of 18 cases with traumatic lens subluxation were collected and analyzed retrospectively. All cases underwent vitreolensectomy retaining partial capsule and PCIOL were fixated by single haptic scleral suturing and retained capsular. The follow-up time was 6-18 months. Position of PCIOL, BCVA, intraocular pressure, and complications were observed and retrospectively analyzed. Results Post-operative BCVA was increased significantly (P=0.000). Post-operative intraocular pressure was stable and the position of IOL was steady. There was no complication associated with IOL. Conclusion Vitreolensectomy retaining partial capsule combined with IOL implantation by single haptic scleral suturing is a practicable and safe procedure for traumatic lens subluxation.
