Standardized Flanged Intrascleral Intraocular Lens Fixation with the Double-Needle Technique for Cataract Luxation in the Vitreous Chamber during Phacoemulsification

Purpose. To assess the visual and refractive outcome of immediate intraoperative vitrectomy and intrascleral intraocular lens implantation using a “standardized” sutureless Yamane technique during cataract luxation in the vitreous chamber as a complication of phacoemulsification.

description Purpose. To assess the visual and refractive outcome of immediate intraoperative vitrectomy and intrascleral intraocular lens implantation using a “standardized” sutureless Yamane technique during cataract luxation in the vitreous chamber as a complication of phacoemulsification. Design. A prospective, interventional, consecutive case series. Materials and Methods. Twelve patients underwent vitrectomy and intrascleral intraocular lens fixation using a standardized Yamane technique as the primary procedure during complicated phacoemulsification. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively for best-corrected distance visual acuity, correspondence to the preoperative refractive target in the spherical equivalent, endothelial cell count, and complications. Results. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 1.16 ± 0.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), the endothelial cell count was 1910.5 ± 297.64, and target refraction at baseline was −0.197 ± 0.087. Postoperatively, best-corrected visual acuity was significantly improved; the mean value was 0.05 logMAR ± 0.06. Mean baseline target refraction in the spherical equivalent was −0.20 ± −0.09 (range: −0.08 to −0.37), and mean final refraction was −0.44 ± −0.14 (range: −0.25 to −0.75) with no significant difference p=0.87. No complication was registered intra- and postoperatively. Conclusion. Standardization of the Yamane technique seemed a valuable option for patients who had complicated phacoemulsification to achieve a predictable refractive outcome. Synopsis. The predictable refractive outcome could be achieved with the immediate standardized Yamane technique in patients with intraoperative cataract luxation in the vitreous chamber during phacoemulsification.
