Abstract:
The study was performed retrospectively to compare the results of anterior chamber IOL(Intraocular Lens) implantation and posterior chamber IOL implantation by scleral fixation in cases of inadequate zonular or capsular support during the extracapsular cataract extraction. A total of 27 cases were reviewed of which 11 cases had anterior chamber IOL implantation and 16 cases had posterior chamber IOL implantation by scleral fixation. The follow-up period ranged from two to twenty-four months. Nine of eleven in anterior chamber IOL group and thirteen of sixteen in posterior chamber IOL group had the final corrected vision of 0.5 or better. Vision-threatening complications included two cases of cystoid macular edema in anterior chamber IOL group, whose visual acuity was 0.1 and 0.5, and three cases of vitreous hemorrhage in posterior chamber IOL group, which had little effect on visual outcome The final visual acuity didn't show statistically significant difference between the two groups.
