Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: In patient with intraocular lens dislocation, surgery was performed to fix the existing intraocular lens to the sclera by flanged fixation using 5-0 polypropylene without replacing the existing intraocular lens, and this is to be introduced.
Case summary: One mm incisions were made in the cornea at 11 and 2 o'clock and the prolapsed vitreous was removed.
Through the incised cornea, the 5-0 polypropylene is inserted through one hole of the intraocular lens and drawn out of the eye, and the other end of the 5-0 polypropylene is also drawn out of the eye through the vitreous. The ends of the 5-0 polypropylene were melted with a Low-Temperature Cautery to form a flanged shape and fixed to the sclera. No significant complications occurred after the operation.
Conclusions: It can be seen that the flanged type of scleral fixation using 5-0 polypropylene is a useful alternative to the conventional classic scleral fixation.
