Abstract Background To investigate the long-term outcomes and complications of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in patients with a history of ocular trauma with inadequate capsular support during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Methods Records of ocular trauma patients who underwent implantation of SFIOL without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Results Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were included in this study. The median follow-up period was 34 months (range, 6-99 months). The average patient age at the time of surgery was 44 years old (range, 4-80 years). At the end of follow-up, the preoperative mean of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.79 ± 0.86 log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), which improved 0.20 ± 0.26 logMAR postoperatively (P = 0.01). BCVA improved or remained unchanged in 64 eyes (92.8%), VA decreased two lines in five eyes (7.2%). Early postoperative complications included transient corneal edema in seven eyes (10.1%), minor vitreous hemorrhage in four eyes (5.8%), transient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in one eye (1.4%), and hypotony in three eyes (4.3%). Late postoperative complications included persistent elevated IOP in five eyes (7.2%), epiretinal membrane formation in three eyes (4.3%), and cystoid macular edema noted in one eye (1.4%). Conclusion Use of a scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in ocular trauma patients during either primary pars plana vitrectomy or second silicone oil removal is a valuable approach for the management of traumatic aphakia in the absence of capsular support.

Purpose: The authors aim to describe the visual outcomes and postoperative complications of concurrent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) placement using Gore-Tex suture. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed on 27 eyes of 27 patients undergoing concurrent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated IOL with Gore-Tex suture. Outcome measures were change in preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, final manifest refraction, and incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: The mean age was 69.2 ± 11.3 years; there were 16 male patients (59%). The duration of follow-up ranged from 33 to 576 days with a mean of 200 ± 143 days. All patients received Bausch + Lomb Akreos AO60 IOL. The overall mean best-corrected visual acuity in Snellen equivalent improved from 20/276 preoperatively to 20/44 postoperatively ( P < .001). The mean postoperative manifest spherical equivalent refraction was –0.35 ± 1.34 diopters (D). Seventy-five percent of eyes were ± 1.0 D of target refraction. Postoperative complications included corneal edema (26.0%), ocular hypertension (25.9%), hypotony (7.4%), cystoid macular edema (7.4%), vitreous hemorrhage (7.4%), and hyphema (3.7%). No cases of suture breakage, IOL dislocation, retinal detachment, or uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema syndrome were identified. Conclusions: The use of Gore-Tex suture for posterior chamber IOL fixation resulted in favorable outcomes. No suture-related complications occurred during the follow-up period. Final refraction in this setting is typically within ± 1.0 D of target.

The Right

A 36-year-old patient presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens (IOL). The patient with the diagnosis of familial ectopia lentis was first operated on for crystalline lens subluxation in the left eye in 2007 and in the right eye in 2009. In both eyes, lens extraction with anterior vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of a rigid IOL was performed. In 2011, the IOL in the right eye luxated into the vitreous cavity due to ocular trauma. The patient underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with the IOL resuturation to the sclera. Seven years later, a spontaneous vision loss in the right eye was caused by a retinal detachment. The pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade and a consequential oil removal three months later were performed in 2018. The follow-up examination revealed recurrent IOL dislocation in the same eye. Due to a history of previous suture-related complications a decision was made to remove the subluxated rigid polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) IOL and fixate to sclera a sutureless SOLEKO FIL SSF Carlevale lens. The purpose of this report is to present a single case of a 36-year-old patient who was presented to the hospital with recurrent dislocation of the intraocular lens. In a three-month follow-up period, a good anatomical and functional outcome was finally obtained with transscleral sutureless intraocular lens. This lens is an option worth considering especially in a young patient with a long life expectancy and physically active.
