Overview

Randomized trial compares visual outcomes and complications in eyes with inadequate capsular support, suggesting similar effectiveness of both techniques.

Key Points

  • The aim is to compare the clinical outcomes of Gore-Tex suture versus transscleral glued techniques for intraocular lens fixation.
  • Single-center, retrospective comparative study
  • Involves 51 eyes with Gore-Tex suture fixation and 36 eyes with transscleral glued fixation
  • Evaluated preoperative biometrics, postoperative refractive outcomes, and complication rates.
  • Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.2 logMAR for Gore-Tex vs. 0.3 logMAR for glued technique (P=0.755).
  • Mean prediction error was −0.16 D for Gore-Tex vs. 0.42 D for glued (P=0.13).
  • No significant differences in complication rates (P=0.271 and P=0.165).
