A Modified Knotless Transscleral Intraocular Lens Fixation Technology for Congenital Ectopia Lentis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to compare modified knotless transscleral suture fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) with traditional transscleral suture fixation for adolescents and young patients with congenital ectopia lentis (CEL).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 49 patients with CEL (60 eyes) who underwent surgery at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. Improvements based on knotless Z-suture fixation technique were made to form a modified knotless method, in which thicker 8-0 polypropylene sutures were used, and double parallel scleral grooves were constructed behind the limbus instead of triangular lamellar scleral flaps to cover suture stitches. Modified knotless transscleral fixation of IOL was conducted on 30 eyes, and the other 30 eyes underwent traditio
