Abstract:
To demonstrate possible complications of a new intraocular lens for sutureless secondary scleral implantation and modifications of the surgical technique to optimize outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study of 16 eyes (16 patients) who underwent a secondary intraocular lens implantation using the Carlevale intraocular lens (Soleko, Italy) with two anchor haptics for intrascleral implantation (mean follow-up 2.2 months). Results: The visual acuity did not improve statistically significantly postoperatively ( P = 0.601). Seven (44%) patients suffered from postoperative hypotonia (intraocular pressure 〈 5 mmHg) during the first three postoperative days. Conclusion: Owing to the early postoperative hypotony, we decided to modify the surgical technique. We present several suggestions to optimize the technique and outcome such as positioning the sclerotomies at the 2 and 8 o'clock positions, using 27 G trocars alone and suturing the frown incisions using self-resorbing sutures.
