Flapless one-knot suture: a novel surgical technique for transscleral fixation of C-loop intraocular lenses.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To describe a novel suture approach for transscleral fixation of C-loop intraocular lenses (IOL) and to compare the surgical outcomes with the four-haptics posterior chamber (PC)-IOL technique.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 16 eyes of 16 patients who underwent transscleral fixation of C-loop PC-IOLs using a flapless one-knot suture technique, which were followed up for longer than 17mo. In this technique, the capsulorless IOL was suspended using a single suture for transscleral fixation of four feet. Then we compared its surgical outcomes and complications with the four-haptics PC-IOLs using the Student's t test and Chi-square test.

Results

Sixteen patients of 16 eyes with a mean age of 58.3±10.1y (42-76y) who received transscleral C-loop IOL implanta
