Suture clamping of intraocular lenses without a scleral flap: A new implantation method for patients with an aphakic capsule

We aim to describe a technique for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with suture clamping for aphakic capsules. This prospective, noncomparative, interventional case study included three eyes of three patients with an aphakic capsule after vitrectomy, in which the IOL was clamped by suturing. The...

description We aim to describe a technique for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with suture clamping for aphakic capsules. This prospective, noncomparative, interventional case study included three eyes of three patients with an aphakic capsule after vitrectomy, in which the IOL was clamped by suturing. The suturing procedure was transconjunctival or subconjunctival performed without scleral flaps. The IOLs were implanted without difficulty, and visual acuity improved after IOL implantation. There were no severe complications, and the position of each IOL remained correct through 18 months of follow-up. The present technique is straightforward and effective in the treatment of eyes with an aphakic capsule.
