Sitanaya GA, Phoaniary R, Ibrahim DF. Two double flanged versus four flanged in scleral fixated IOL: A descriptive study. Edorium J Ophthalmol 2020;3:100004O02GS2020.ABSTRACT
Aims: To describe a new method for scleral fixated intraocular lens (IOL) and to report its long-term follow-up. This study also shows the comparison of the new method with the current popular method that is four flanged scleral fixated IOL.
Method: Six patients who underwent the new method (two double flanged IOL) and 6 patients underwent four flanged scleral fixated IOL. Postoperative data was collected and recorded, such as visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber activity, sign of IOL decentration/tilting and subjective complaints from the patients. Follow-up was done for 4–8 weeks.
Result: Among the first group (two double flanged IOL) the mean visual acuity are 0.28 and 0.34 [uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)]. The second group (four flanged IOL) the mean visual acuity are 0.29 and 0.35 (UCVA and BCVA). There is no (0%) IOL decentration of both the groups during the follow-up period. No significant anterior chamber reaction was found in both groups.
Conclusion: The two double flanged IOL can be used as alternative method for intrascleral IOL fixation. It provides good long-term stabilization, no need for specific IOL, or any hard to obtain material.
