Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the surgical outcomes of capsule-sparing lens surgery techniques using sutured capsular tension rings and/or segments in cases with microspherophakia

Setting:

Batıgöz Hospital, Izmir, Turkey

Methods:

Twenty eyes of sixteen microspherophakia patients who underwent capsule-sparing lens surgery using capsular tension ring or capsule tension segment were included. Pre-operative and post-operative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), lens position, intraocular pressure (IOP), followup periods and complications were recorded.

Results:

The mean age was 20.2±4.6 years and the mean follow-up 36.4 months. A Cionni modified capsular tension ring was implanted in 4 eyes. A capsular tension segment with a sutured capsular tension ring was implanted in 4 eyes. In 12 eyes, capsular tension ring alone was implanted. In 15 eyes IOL implanted in the capsular bag and 5 eyes IOL implanted at sulcus with optic capture in anterior capsulorhexis technique. The BCVA at the final follow-up was 20/40 or better in 18 eyes (90%). All IOLs were well centered

Conclusions:

Implantation of IOL at sulcus with optic capture in anterior capsulorhexis technique appears to be safe and effective choice for visual rehabilitation in cases with microspherophakia
