Vitrectomy with IOL Fixation
Subspecialty Day 2011: Retina
Retina/Vitreous
Eyes that require a secondary IOL but have insufficient
capsular support present a unique surgical challenge for the vitreoretinal surgeon. Dr. Jonathan Prenner reviews a sutureless approach for sulcus fixation that ensures simple, stable secondary PCIOL placement. The technique involves the use of intrascleral tunnels through which the haptics are guided.
