Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report the surgical results of transscleral fixation of foldable acrylic intraocular lens with a unique haptic shape (CORNEAL(R), ACR6D, France). METHODS: We analyzed the medical records of 18 patients (19 eyes) who had transscleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation from July 2004 to July 2006. RESULTS: According to the cause of operation, there were five eyes with complicated cataract, eight with trauma, and six with aphakia associated with a previous operation. The mean age of the patients was 55.9+/-21.2 years. The mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.31+/-0.35, and the postoperative value was 0.63+/-0.29 (p<0.05). The mean preoperative spherical refractive equivalent was 6.58+/-5.33 diopter, and the postoperative value was -1.77+/-1.59 diopter. The mean refractive error was -1.13+/-1.57 diopter. This showed a myopic shift (p<0.05). The mean astigmatism decreased with time, and it stabilized two months after the operation. The trend was toward mild against-the-rule astigmatism. The mean follow-up duration was 11.0+/-7.6 months. CONCLUSIONS: In eyes with inadequate capsular support, transscleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation with CORNEAL(R) lenses is a safe and effective procedure for visual correction.
