Incidence of intraocular lens (IOL) tilt and decentration after secondary IOL sulcus implantation versus optic capture in pediatric aphakia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the tilt and decentration between secondary sulcus-implanted versus optic-captured intraocular lens (IOL) in pediatric aphakia using ultrasound bio-microscopy (UBM).

Design

Prospective, comparative study at "Cairo University" pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus unit.

Methods

Forty-four eyes of 25 aphakics were scheduled for secondary implantation. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group A underwent sulcus implantation, while Group B underwent optic capture. UBM was performed preoperatively, 3 months and 6 months after surgery to evaluate the anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle width in the four quadrants, horizontal and vertical tilt, and decentration.

Results

Preoperative demographic data, ACD, and angle width did not
