Aim: To study the feasibility and efficacy of removal of the subluxated lens and sclera fixation of a foldable intraocular lens on top of the decentered preserved capsular bag. Patients and methods. Seventeen eyes of 10 patients (9 - 15 years) were done by phacoaspiration followed by trans-scleral fixation of foldable IOL in the sulcus on top of the decentered capsular bag of the subluxated lens. Results: Postoperative refraction spherical equivalent amplitude ranged from 0.25 to 1.38 diopters with a mean of 1.35 ± 1.13 diopters. The final postoperative BCVA ranged from 6/18 to 6/6 with a mean of 6/9 (0.67 ± 0.25 decimal). Intraoperative complications were hyphema in one case and accidental small zonular injury without vitreous prolapsed during needle passage in two cases. Postoperative complications were transient iridocyclitis in on.. View More»
