Scleral Fixation of BunnyLens With GoreTex Suture- Initial Results

Gore-Tex Suture and BunnyLens Scleral Fixation - Historical Retrospective Trial

This study evaluates the Visual Acuity and refraction of patients post 4-point Scleral fixation of BunnyLens (Intra Ocular Lens- IOL) with GoreTex sutures. All patients underwent secondary IOL implantation or IOL exchange during 2014-2017.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Aphakia, Acquired
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Visual Acuity

Detailed Description

4 point scleral fixation of PC- IOL (Posterior Chamber-PC) BunnyLens with Gore-Tex sutures is a surgical technique for implanting IOL in patients with capsular support absence, due to trauma, abnormal anterior chamber, IOL dislocation, or ciliary zonule defect.

The 4 point fixation enables to align the PC- IOL with minimal vertical and horizontal deviation;The Gore-Tex sutures maintain stable scleral fixation with no suture erosion or breakage.
