Abstract: | Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of iris fixation of subluxated intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods A retrospective study of 44 consecutive cases of subluxated IOLs that underwent iris fixation of the IOL. Demographic information, data regarding surgery, and follow-up were retrieved from patient files. All eyes were operated on in a similar fashion by the same anterior segment surgeon (A.M.) utilizing the McCannel suture technique and/or the Siepser slipknot technique. The main outcome measures were visual acuity improvement, surgically induced astigmatism, and assessment of complications. Results Ten eyes had a documented complication during primary cataract extraction. Pseudoexfoliation was present in 11 eyes (25?%). History of ocular trauma and high myopia were present in six eyes (each). Excluding eyes with macular disease and very low visual acuity, visual acuity improved from 0.4 (± 0.05) logMAR to 0.24 (± 0.05) logMAR (p?=?0.047). Eyes with low pre-operative astigmatism did not worsen post-operatively (R square linear?=?0.8, p?0.01). Pupil ovalization was a major aesthetic complication (21 of 44 eyes). Major hemorrhagic complications were uncommon. One patient developed intermediate uveitis 1?year after IOL fixation. Conclusions In this study of 44 eyes, iris fixation was proven to be a an effective method for treating subluxated IOLs. |
