Overview

Retrospective study compares IOL fixation outcomes in patients with two suturing techniques, indicating similar efficacy and safety.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of two scleral fixation techniques for intraocular lenses.
  • Retrospective selection of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy from January 2019 to July 2021.
  • Outcomes evaluated included intraocular pressure, subjective refraction, corneal topography, and complications.
  • Participants followed for at least 6 months and invited for a clinic visit to assess procedures.
  • No statistically significant differences were found between the Akreos plus Gore-Tex and MA60AC plus Prolene groups.
  • Both techniques demonstrated similar refractive outcomes and postoperative complications.
  • Overall safety and efficacy of both scleral fixation methods were comparable.
