Fibrin glue-assisted fixation of decentered posterior chamber intraocular lens.

OBJECTIVE

To report the feasibility and outcome of the technique of glue-assisted fixation of decentered posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) in the posterior chamber using the same IOL.

METHODS

The procedure was performed in three eyes having decentered PCIOL with inadequate capsular rim to support the IOL. The haptics were exteriorized under a partial thickness scleral flap at 1.5 mm behind the limbus and placed into a partial thickness scleral pocket and fixed with fibrin glue. No suture was placed at any site.

RESULTS

On day 1 and at 6 weeks, the IOLs were well centered. There was no significant anterior or posterior segment inflammation, and the intraocular pressure was normal.

CONCLUSION

Fibrin glue-assisted fixation of PCIOL is a feasible technique with good outcome in eyes with decentered IOL with inadequate capsular support.
