Polypropylene Sutures

Purpose: We report the longest follow-up to our knowledge of stable scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) with 10-0 polypropylene sutures. Methods: A retrospective review is presented of a case with more than 30 years’ follow-up after performing sutured scleral fixation with 10-0 polypropylene suture using 2 sutures tied together under a scleral flap. One suture was a cow-hitch looped around the haptic, and the other suture was passed through the sclera to create the scleral fixation. Results: The scleral fixation with 10-0 polypropylene suture knots for both haptics of the PC IOL allowed central optic positioning with excellent vision for more than 30 years without suture breakage. Conclusions: Polypropylene sutures for scleral fixation of PC IOLs remained stable for more than 30 years with central positioning of the PC IOL, without exposure of the fixation suture knots through the conjunctiva, and without suture breakage.

Best Corrected Visual Acuity

An 88-year-old woman who had undergone sutureless intrascleral fixation of the intraocular lens (IOL) 3 years previously was seen at an eye clinic because of ocular pain and loss of vision 2 days prior to this visit. She was diagnosed with endophthalmitis and referred to our hospital. At her first presentation here, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.01 in the left eye, and conjunctival hyperemia and hypopyon were apparent. A haptic was exposed outside the conjunctiva at the nasal upper quadrant, with a white substance around the haptic. The fundus was not visible. We diagnosed endophthalmitis. That same day, we performed vitrectomy and IOL removal, immediately followed by intravitreal injection of antibiotic. The inflammation resolved gradually, and at the 1-year follow-up her BCVA had recovered to 0.6. Patients should receive careful, long-term follow-up after sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation.
