Ab externo 4-point scleral fixationof posterior chamber intraocular lenses

Abstract

Four-point scleral fixation is a simple technique that in this series of 25 patients was not associated with major intraoperative or postoperative complications and gave satisfactory visual results.

Scleral Fixation Iol: Outcome and Complications

“…The Ab-interno technique involves the passage of needle from the inside of the eye to the outside through the sclera. [7,8] which is more complicated and blind technique.…”

Management of Elevated Intraocular Pressure Associated With Subluxated/Dislocated Lenses by Combining Trabeculectomy With Adjunctive Mitomycin C With Lensectomy, Vitrectomy, and Scleral Fixation of Intraocular Lens

“…Hence, a pars plana vitrectomy was performed in all our cases. Suture exposure is also minimized to a certain extent by creating a scleral flap and rotating the suture knot into the sclera, thereby reducing chances of suture tract-related endophthalmitis 18,19 as done in our series. We did not report any instances of endophthalmitis.…”

Combined 20-gauge and 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for the management of posteriorly dislocated lens: a case series

“…Increasing the infusion pressure from 35 mmHg to 50 mmHg ensured the prevention of intraoperative hypotony. Modified 4-point scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs)6–7 was also performed on five eyes with trauma. Plugs were placed in the cannula, which was removed at the end of the surgery by applying gentle traction with the help of forceps.…”
