A mini-invasive surgical technique for Carlevale IOL implantation: case series study and description of concomitant surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the feasibility and outcomes of a modified technique for the implantation of scleral fixated Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL) (I71 FIL SSF. Soleko IOL Division, Pontecorvo, Italy), and to analyze the occurrence of adverse events.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational study conducted revising patients charts from 2018 to 2023. Thirty-five eyes of 33 patients were included. Patients requiring IOL explantation had either IOL dislocation or opacification. The implantation of the Carlevale IOL was performed with the subconjunctival positioning of the anchors without any scleral flap. All maneuvers were performed transconjunctivally. The anatomical outcomes considered were IOL positioning, and the absence of postoperative complications. The functional ou
