Abstract:AIM:To investigate the clinical effect of small incision suture-fixation of foldable intraocular lens for aphakia correction.METHODS:Eleven cases with non-posterior capsular or disintegrated-posterior capsular eyes were included in this study.RAYNER(570C) foldable intraocular lens was selected.Main outcome measures were visual acuity and complications.RESULTS:On the first day postoperatively,the uncorrected visual acuity of 5 eyes(46%)was better than 0.5.The uncorrected visual acuity of 4 eyes(36%)was between 0.5 and 0.3.The uncorrected visual acuity of 2 eyes(18%)was 0.2.The best-corrected visual acuity were the same as or better than the preoperative at the 1-month,3-month and 6-month follow-up respectively.No complication was found in all cases.CONCLUSION:Small incision suture-fixation of foldable intraocular lens is a safe and effective way for non-posterior capsular aphakia eyes.
