| Abstract |
|
The long-term results of implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) by transscleral suture fixation in 23 patients without zonular or capsular support were reviewed. Preoperatively, 15 were aphakic, 5 had cataracts and 3 were aphakic with concurrent corneal opactiy. The latter had penetrating keratoplasty as well at the time of surgery. They were followed up for more than 1 year, and the best corrected vision remained the same or improved in all cases after surgery. The transsclear sutre fixationrelated complications included vitreous hemorrhage, hyphema and retinal detachment. |
