Application of trans-scleral suture fixed posterior chamber intraocular lens in congenital ectopia lentis
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2020, Vol 35, Issue 5
Abstract
Congenital ectopia lentis (CEL) is a serious ocular disease with a potential risk of blindness, and surgery is the primary treatment method. However, the timing and the selection of surgical approach remain in dispute. Up to now, the trans-scleral suture fixed posterior chamber intraocular lens (sf-PC-IOL) is the most classical surgical approach. Though sf-PC-IOL can effectively correct the visual impairment caused by CEL, there are several complications such as the exposure of suture knot and the fracture of suture, which have captivated more and more attention from ophthalmologists. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages as well as the improvement strategies with potential promotion value of the sf-PC-IOL were reviewed, aiming to provide clinical evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of CEL.
