Résumé
The aim of this study is to describe a modified technique for internal refixation of dislocated scleral-sutured polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) with eyelets. Three-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed. Through the scleral fixation site, a 30-gauge needle loaded with an 8-0 polypropylene suture was inserted into the vitreous cavity. The suture end was passed through the eyelet of IOL with 25-gauge forceps. Next, it was guided out of the eye through the original scleral fixation point. The end of the exterior suture was buried with a flapless intrascleral knotting technique. Six eyes of six patients were successfully treated with this technique and followed up for 6-12 months postsurgery. In all cases, there was significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity. IOLs were stable with proper centration and no major complications. This modified technique offers an effective and minimally invasive surgical alternative for refixation of dislocated scleral-sutured PMMA IOLs with eyelets.
