| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Implantation of scleral fixation intraocular lens for the surgical management of aphakia cases without capsular support is a safe procedure. Methods: Prospective study was carried out at Lumbini Eye Institute, Bhairahawa. A total of 32 patients underwent scleral fixation intraocular lens implantation within a period of two years from February 2014 to February 2016. Results: The age range was from 15 to 79 years; mean age was 47.56±20.16 SD. Among them 14 (43.75%) were male and 18 (56.25%) were female. The follow-up lasted for 24 months. The postoperative characteristics of the patients are listed in the tables below. Conclusions: SFIOL for the surgical management of aphakia in the absence of capsular support is a safe procedure. The long-term follow-up is needed for an accurate evaluation of outcomes. Keywords: Double armed prolene suture; Intraocular pressure; Scleral fixation intraocular lens; Scleral tunnel. | |
