Abstract
PURPOSE: To report the short-term outcomes of a modified small-incision technique for implantation of scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) using Gore-Tex sutures. METHODS: A retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series was conducted. From June 2019 to February 2020, 10 patients underwent small-incision scleral-fixated IOL implantation using Gore-Tex sutures at a tertiary referral center. Visual and anatomical outcomes and complications were recorded with a minimum follow-up period of 3 months. Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and IOL-induced astigmatism were measured. RESULTS: The mean follow-up duration (range) was 396 (240-573) days. Best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly from logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) 0.88 ± 0.65 (Snellen equivalent: 20/153) preoperation to logMAR = 0.30 ± 0.51 (Snellen equivalent: 20/40) at final follow-up (P = .008). The estimated SIA and IOL-induced astigmatism were 0.61 diopters (D) ± 0.49D and 0.40D ± 0.36D, respectively. No intraoperative complications occurred. The postoperative complications, which included ocular hypertension (20%), cystoid macular edema (30%), and vitreous hemorrhage (20%), were transient and resolved with topical medication. CONCLUSIONS: The modified small-incision technique for implantation of scleral-fixated IOLs using Gore-Tex sutures was well tolerated in all patients, with favorable postoperative visual outcomes and minimal SIA and IOL-induced astigmatism.
