Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study various causes requiring IOL exchange, Interventions done and to assess postoperative outcomes.

Setting:

Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital, Raipur, India

Methods:

Retrospective analysis of medical records of 36 eyes of 35 patients who underwent IOL exchange from January 2015 to July 2017 at a tertiary level institute in Central India. Pre-operative and intra-operative data of primary surgery was analysed. Post-operative visual outcomes after IOL exchange were also studied.

Results:

Most common indication in our study was de-centered IOL 56% (n=20). Most commonly performed secondary surgery [67% eyes (n=24)] was 3 piece IOL implantation in sulcus. Overall 3 piece IOL was used in 31 eyes (86 %). Postoperatively, 69 % eyes (n=25) achieved best corrected visual acuity of 6/12 or better in contrast to 31% (n=11) eyes having similar BCVA pre-operatively.

Conclusions:

Properly centered IOL after primary surgery would alleviate the need for secondary surgeries like IOL exchange. Use of 3 piece IOL in sulcus during IOL exchange provides good visual outcomes.
