Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate exposure rate of suture material at the transscleral suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (TSFPCIOL) with the method in which the scleral suture knots are trans positioned from both nasal and temporal sclera to superonasal. METHODS: With retrospective chart review 16 eyes of 15 patients who underwent TSFPCIOL with the transpositioned suture site, the authors checked their visual recovery rate and complicated disorders after the surgeries. RESULTS: Average corrected visual acuities at final visits improved to 0.67+/-0.32 from 0.14+/-0.17 at initial. Six eyes (37.5%) had complicated disorders at early postoperative period and 5 eyes (31.25%) had at their final visits. No exposure of suture material over the conjunctiva did occur. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that translocated suture to superotemporal sclera may be an efficient method for reducing exposure rate of suture material after TSFPCIOL.
