To evaluate the clinical outcomes and complication rates of sutureless scleral-fixated Carlevale intraocular lens implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy for the management of aphakia.
Conducted a national, multicenter retrospective audit of 268 eyes across 268 patients undergoing simultaneous pars plana vitrectomy and Carlevale intraocular lens implantation.
Tracked best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and central retinal thickness over 12 months, analyzing event rates using Kaplan–Meier cumulative probability curves.
Achieved a 12-month cumulative probability of final visual acuity ≤ 0.3 logMAR of 64.4%.
Observed cumulative probabilities of intraocular pressure > 21 mmHg of 29.8% and pressure-lowering therapy of 42.3% at 12 months, with 3.7% of eyes (10/268) requiring glaucoma surgery.
Identified a 26.6% 12-month cumulative rate of macular edema, managed with topical therapy (73.5%) or intravitreal injections (26.5%), and a 3.7% rate of corneal transplantation (10/268).
