Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In a prospective study ten commercially available anterior chamber lenses with S-shaped haptics and multipoint support were implanted into the posterior chamber in cases of secondary lens implantation after intracapsular cataract operation. The lenses were trans-sclerally fixed by two sutures through the ciliary sulcus. They showed more immediate stability than ten C-loop posterior chamber lenses of a control group and remained firmly fixed without complications during a follow-up of up to 54 months. To overcome the disadvantages of suture fixation a sutureless sulcus self-fixation PCL was developed and implanted into six eyes with special indications. After more than one year of follow-up no late adverse reaction was noted. |
