Tilt, Decentration, and Internal Higher-Order Aberrations of Sutured Posterior-Chamber Intraocular Lenses in Patients with Open Globe Injuries.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the tilt, decentration, and internal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) of sutured posterior-chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with open globe injuries.

Methods

46 consecutive patients (47 eyes) who underwent transsclerally sutured IOL implantation were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Nineteen eyes had a history of open globe injury. The tilt and decentration of the IOLs and the visual quality were measured 1 month after surgery.

Results

The horizontal tilt and decentration of the IOLs in the open-globe-injury group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P < 0.05). In the open-globe-injury group, the horizontal decentration was significantly greater in the limbus-sclera-involved group (n =
