Retrospective Study of Visual Outcomes and Complications After Sutureless, Flapless, and Glueless Intrascleral Fixation of Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens in Children and Young Adults

Inadequate capsular support for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the bag or ciliary sulcus is seen in congenital conditions of ectopia lentis (eg, Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, Ehlers –Danlos syndrome, or Weill–Marchesani syndrome) and aphakia after complicated cataract surgery or traumatic subluxation.1 In the presence of little to no capsular support, the surgeon has the following options for lens implantation: an anterior chamber IOL, posterior chamber IOL over a residual capsule, iris-fixated IOL, iris-claw lens, scleral-fixated IOL, or scleral-fixated posterior chamber IOL.
