Yamane Technique Versus Prolene Mesh for Intraocular Lens Scleral Fixation in Aphakia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate transscleral prolene mesh in aphakic patients lacking capsular support by comparing this technique with the Yamane technique.

Methods

A comparative, prospective, randomized study was conducted on 40 eyes of 40 patients who were aphakic without capsular support. Aphakia is either posttraumatic or after complicated cataract surgery with partial or total loss of capsular support. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups based on the surgical intervention they received: Group A (Yamane technique) and Group B (transscleral prolene mesh technique). All patients were followed up for 3 months after surgery. Postoperative visual acuity, refraction, IOL centration, and complications were documented during the follow-up period.
