The SWISS IOL Technique (Small-Width Incision Scleral Suture): A Mini-Invasive Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the outcomes and safety of a minimally invasive technique for sutured IOL scleral fixation in case of compromised capsular and iris support.

Materials and methods

In this retrospective study, we explain our mini-invasive technique and assess the outcomes in terms of visual acuity, pre- or postoperative complications, and IOL position (Sensar AR40e, AMO) in a case series of three patients.

Results

The expected best corrected visual acuity could be achieved after one month. Surgeries were uneventful with a stable eye. No postoperative complications occurred except for one patient who had a conjunctival disinsertion. Neither postoperative hypotony nor raised IOP was found. Additionally, no patient experienced corneal edema at one week control, IOL dis
