Fibrin Glue-Assisted Intraocular Lens Fixation in Weill-Marchesani Syndrome.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

To report visual and intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes of 4 eyes in 2 patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome having ocular fearures of spherophakia and secondary glaucoma who underwent fibrin glue assisted intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens (IOL).

METHODS:

Detailed anterior and posterior segment evaluation assessing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, central corneal thickness was done in all. Lensectomy, vitrectomy with glued Intrascleral fixation of 3 piece intraocular lens was done. Post operative BCVA and IOP were assessed.

RESULTS:

Visual acuity and IOP control improved post-operatively.

CONCLUSIONS:

Glued IOL implantation is an effective method to visually rehabilitate and control glaucoma in patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome.
