[Suture-fixation of foldable Akreos intraocular lens by two-point on sclera and four-haptic of the lens].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of suture-fixation of foldable intraocular lens for non-posterior-capsular aphakia.

METHODS:

Akreos intraocular lens (from Bausch-Lamb Company) were selected for operation in aphakia with non-posterior-capsule or less capsule supporting intraocular lens. Complications and visual acuity were observed.

RESULTS:

There was no significant complication in the operation. Choroidal detachment occurred in 2 eyes postoperatively. Visual acuity of 0.3 accounted for 56.67%, 76.67%, 86.67%, and 90% respectively on the first day, at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the operation.

CONCLUSION:

Suture-fixation of Akreos intraocular lens is a good choice for non-posterior-capsular aphakia.
