Application of the suture needle retrograde threading method in scleral fixation of intraocular lenses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Here we described a new threading technique for the universal fixation of any posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods

Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients whose surgery done by Surgeon A with the needle-guided method or the suture needle retrograde threading (SNRT) method for intrascleral IOL fixation were enrolled in the first group. Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients whose surgery done by Surgeon A, Surgeon B or Surgeon C with the SNRT method for intrascleral IOL fixation were grouped into three sub-groups by surgeon. Information regarding age, sex, best-available visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), past ophthalmological history, threading time (from puncturing to externalizing suture) and complications during and after the surgery were gathered
