Abstract :
Background: Visual rehabilitation following cataract surgery with compromised capsular bag includes various options like anterior chamber (ACIOL), fixation to the iris (Iris claw IOL), or fixation to the sclera (SFIOL), as a primary or secondary procedure. We studied the clinical outcome in patients who underwent 4- point fixation of SFIOLs.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective data analysis of fourteen patients who underwent sclera fixated intraocular lens implantation from 2016 to 2018 at our institute under standard operative conditions was done.
Results: The postoperative vision by three months ranged from LogMAR 1.0 – 0.2, out of fourteen patients, BCVA in 60 % of the patients ranged from LogMAR 0.3-0.2 which was maintained at six months follow up with minimal complications.
Conclusion: 4- point fixation of scleral fixated IOL is a good option with favourable outcome, in aphakics who are not ideal candidates for iris claw lens.
