STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND COMPREHENSIVE SURGICAL OUTCOMES OF THE SUTURELESS INTRASCLERAL FIXATION OF SECONDARY INTRAOCULAR LENSES IN HUMAN EYES.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe surgical outcomes and structural characteristics of intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted with transconjunctival sutureless intrascleral (SIS) fixation in human eyes.

Design

Retrospective interventional surgical case series involving live and cadaveric human eyes.

Methods

In this study, we investigated the surgical outcomes and structural anatomy of secondary IOLs implanted with the SIS technique in human eyes. All cases involving SIS IOL fixation performed at a single academic center from January 1, 2012, through July 30, 2016, were reviewed to describe the surgical technique, common indications, clinical outcomes, and the rate of common operative complications. To investigate the structure of SIS-fixated IOLs in vivo, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ultra
