Purpose: To report a case of modified capsular tension ring scleral fixation and in-the-bag toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in a pediatric patient with severe crystalline lens subluxation due to homocystinuria.
Case summary: A 9-year-old male diagnosed with homocystinuria and crystalline lens subluxation presented with progressive decrease of visual acuity. Uncorrected distant visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distant visual acuity were 0.03 and 0.6 in the right eye and 0.01 and 0.5 in the left eye, respectively. Slit-lamp examination showed severe crystalline lens subluxation toward the inferiomedial side in both eyes. Corneal astigmatism in the right eye and left eye was 2.75 diopters (D) and 3.00 D, respectively based on keratometry. A combination of subluxated crystalline lens aspiration, scleral-fixated modified capsular tension ring insertion and in-the-bag toric IOL implantation were performed in both eyes. After continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, nucleus and cortex of the crystalline lens were removed by irrigation and aspiration. A modified capsular tension ring with 2 fixation hooks (Model 2-L) was inserted into the capsular bag and fixed at the scleral wall. Next, toric IOL was inserted into the capsular bag. UDVA was 0.8 in the right eye and 0.9 in the left eye and 3 months postoperatively, the IOL rotation was less than 3 degrees from intended axis in both eyes.
Conclusions: In a patient with severe congenital crystalline lens subluxation and moderate to severe corneal astigmatism, scleral fixation of modified capsular tension ring and in-the-bag toric IOL implantation is a possible surgical option.
