INTRAOCULAR LENS IMBRICATION FOR RECURRENT PUPILLARY CAPTURE AFTER SUTURELESS INTRASCLERAL FIXATION

Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2022 Nov 1;16(6):721-723. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000001068.

Abstract

Purpose: To demonstrate a novel surgical technique (intraocular lens imbrication) for persistent postoperative pupillary capture after sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation.

Methods: Case report and supplemental digital content demonstrating salient steps of a novel surgical technique.

Results: The patient did not suffer any further episodes of pupillary capture after intraocular lens imbrication with aforementioned surgical technique five months after the procedure. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuities were 20/40 in both eyes.

Conclusion: Intraocular lens imbrication is an effective method to address persistent postoperative pupillary capture after sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation.
