Abstract:
We retrospectively analyzed the correlation between location of transscIeral sutures and the postoperative vision, refraction, anterior chamber depth (ACD) with linear regression, in eyes with posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCL's) implanted by transscleral suture fixation. The suture to limbus distances at 12 and 6 o'clock position measured in average 2.4mm and 1.7mm respectively. The location of the sutures had no statistically significant relationship with postoperative vision, spherical equivalent, astigmatism, ACD.
