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).
