Introduction: Cataract surgery constitutes one of the highest volume surgeries performed worldwide approximating 10 million annually, varying from 100 to 6000 per million population. Implantation of scleral fixated intra-ocular lens (SFIOL) is getting popular in managing difficult situations like aphakia, subluxated lens, and dislocated cataracts.
Objective: This retrospective series evaluated our experience with foldable 3-piece acrylic SFIOL implantation for various challenging surgical scenarios in a tertiary care ophthalmic institute in the southern part of India.
Results: The data from the first 150 patients, those operated in our hospital in the aforementioned technique, have been reviewed and analyzed. The mean age of the population was 46.43 years. The most common indication was found to be surgical aphakia (34.66%) followed by traumatic subluxated lens (8.33%). Postoperative BCVA at 3 months improved to 0.255 on the LogMAR scale from preoperative BCVA of 0.795 (P < 0.01). Intraocular pressure was found to stabilize over 3 months follow-up (P = 0.002). The various intraoperative and postoperative complications have been recorded. Ten patients required resurgery out of which eight had postoperative haptic dislocation. A detailed comparison of the role of a surgeon's experience in influencing outcomes has been evaluated.
Conclusion: The technique offers physiological IOL placement using minimal surgical maneuvers. We strongly recommend this as a technique of choice for the surgical management of complicated scenarios with inadequate capsular bag support.
