| Sutureless, glueless, flapless, intrascleral fixation of intraocular lenses (SFIOLs) for the pediatric population is to be
evaluated for refractive outcome and complication profile. Patients underwent SFIOL for ectopia lentis who were 20 or
older, were included in this retrospective study. It included the patient's uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) preoperatively,
the cycloplegic refraction, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) postoperatively, and their complications during surgery.
According to a study, the median UCVA was logMAR 1.78 along with logMAR 0.30 along with (p<0.001). Based on data,
the mean pre- and postoperative BCVAs were both logMAR 0.24. Ninety percent of the eyes achieved UCVAs of 20/60.
There were 85.0% of eyes that achieved a BCVA of 20/30 or better. Hyphaema (10%), vitreous hemorrhage (2.5%), and
ocular hypotonia (2.5%) are the most common postoperative complications. No long-term effects were observed in any of
these cases. IOL subluxation was observed in only one case. It was found that no late endophthalmitis or retinal detachments
occurred in the study. Final thoughts. It is suitable for children with noncompliance with spectacles since refractive error is
minimal. Adults have reported similar complication profilesddd |
