A prospective study comparing visual outcomes and complications of Anterior Chamber Intra ocular lenses versus Scleral fixated Intra ocular lenses in various complicated cataract surgeries
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Purpose: To compare visual outcome and complications of Anterior chamber Intra ocular lens implantation versus Scleral fixated Intra ocular lens implantation in various complicated cataract surgeries. Material and Methods: A total of 36 patients of complicated cataract and Aphakia were included in this study. They were randomly divided into two group. Eighteen cases underwent anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL) implantation other eighteen cases underwent sclera fixated IOL (SF–IOL) implantation. Visual outcome and complications in both the cases were analyzed. Result: In our study we found that the best corrected visual acuity was slightly higher and complication rate was lower in SF-IOL implantation group than AC-IOL implantation group and SF-IOL implantation is better alternative to AC-IOL in aphakia and complicated cataract surgeries where capsular support is weak.
