“…In one series, 17 retinal detachment repair was not attempted in 50% of cases. If undertaken, retinal reattachment was successful in 43-74%, [17][18][19] and of the successes less than half (41%) had visual acuity of 20/200 or better. It appears therefore that while the incidence of retinal detachment with and without pars plana vitrectomy may be similar, the outcomes provide a marked contrast.…”

Objective To assess the long-term outcome of scleral-fixated sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens (SPCIOL) implantation in non pars plana vitrectomised eyes (1) to evaluate the long-term visual outcome, (2) to identify preoperative risk factors for poor visual outcomes, and (3) to identify the incidence of vitreoretinal complications. Method A retrospective review of 65 eyes, which had not undergone pars plana vitrectomy prior to scleral-fixated SPCIOL implantation. Results In all, 65 eyes of 61 patients were analysed. The median follow-up period was 16 months (range 1-68 months). At final follow-up, 43 (66%) eyes had unchanged or improved BCVA at final follow-up. A total of 20 (31%) eyes had at least a two line improvement and eight (12%) eyes had at least a two line deterioration in final BCVA. No significant preoperative risk factors for a poor visual outcome were identified. In all, 24 eyes (37%) had per-and postoperative adverse events. These eyes were significantly more likely to have a poor visual outcome. Three eyes (4.6%) had a retinal detachment in the postoperative period, all of which had no perception of light at final follow-up. Conclusions This study confirmed that while scleral-fixated SPCIOL intraocular lens implantation might be beneficial, there is a significant risk of per-and postoperative complications leading to loss of best-corrected vision in some eyes.

“…18 However, PKP triple procedure has not been associated with these issues. In addition, we anticipated complications like vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, 19,20 and endophthalmitis, 18 but we did not experience such cases. According to the regulations of our hospital, all the triple procedures were conducted under general anesthesia.…”
