Overview

Retrospective study evaluates visual improvement after lensectomy and IOL implantation in children, indicating surgical success.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the long-term visual outcomes of scleral-fixated intraocular lenses in children with genetic ectopia lentis.
  • Retrospective study of pediatric patients with ectopia lentis
  • Involved lensectomy, anterior vitrectomy, and scleral-fixated PMMA IOL implantation
  • Mean follow-up of 6.5 years with outcome measures including visual acuity and refractive outcomes
  • Best-corrected near vision improved from 0.72 to 0.19 (p < 0.001) and distance vision from 0.48 to 0.05 (p = 0.008)
  • Spherical equivalent shifted from -6.3 D preoperatively to -0.7 D at final follow-up, indicating mean myopic shift of -2.26 D
  • IOL subluxation occurred in 14% of eyes by 10 years, with cumulative incidence at 16%
