Abstract
Purpose: To compare visual outcome and complications of Anterior chamber Intra ocular lens implantation versus Scleral fixated Intra ocular lens implantation in various complicated cataract surgeries.
Material and Methods: A total of 36 patients of complicated cataract and Aphakia were included in this study. They were randomly divided into two group. Eighteen cases underwent anterior chamber IOL (AC-IOL) implantation other eighteen cases underwent sclera fixated IOL (SF–IOL) implantation. Visual outcome and complications in both the cases were analyzed.
Result: In our study we found that the best corrected visual acuity was slightly higher and complication rate was lower in SF-IOL implantation group than AC-IOL implantation group and SF-IOL implantation is better alternative to AC-IOL in aphakia and complicated cataract surgeries where capsular support is weak.
Keywords: Anterior Chamber IOL, Scleral Fixated IOL, Intra Ocular Lens, Complicated cataract, Subluxated cataract, Aphakia.
