LONG-TERM OUTCOME OF TRANSSCLERAL FOUR-POINT FIXATION OF AKREOS INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH CLOSED CONTINUOUS-LOOP SUTURE
To report the long-term clinical outcomes of transscleral four-point fixation of Akreos intraocular lens using a closed continuous-loop suture technique.
Methods:
This was a retrospective, multicenter, interventional case series. Primary outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell density, and complications with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.
Results:
One hundred and ninety-two eyes of 177 patients from two surgical hospital sites were identified. The mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.88 ± 0.74 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/152) preoperatively to 0.42 ± 0.52 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/53) postoperatively (P
