Abstract:
To study a new technique for 4 point fixation of the foldable artificial lens with
polypropylene 8/0.
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 20 patients, who underwent
transscleral fixation of the 4-point foldable lens with polypropylene 8/0.
Preoperative data and follow-up was performed at least 3 months postoperatively.
Postoperative best corrected visual acuity was 0.5 - 0.7. The lens was well attached
and centered. Associated complications were: hemophthalmos and hyphema.
The four-point 8/0 transscleral fixation technique is safe and can be used in all cases
of missing ligaments or aphakia.
