영문 초록

Purpose: To report clinical outcomes of a scleral fixation technique of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenswith eyelets using 8-0 polypropylene suture. Methods: Nine eyes of nine patients who underwent combined pars plana vitrectomy and sclera fixation ofan intraocular lens using this technique were analyzed. Results: The mean follow-up period was 7.11 months (range, 6–12 months), and there was a significant visualimprovement at 6 months after surgery. The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of the resolution changedfrom 0.54 at baseline to 0.29 at postoperative 6 months (p = 0.016). The mean postoperative spherical equivalentat 6 months was -0.90 ± 0.90 diopters, and the mean predictive error was -0.49 ± 0.62 diopters. Conclusions: Postoperative visual and refractive outcomes were favorable, and the positions of intraocularlenses were well centered in all cases. This technique could be a useful alternative for surgeons without easyaccess to Gore-Tex suture.
