A Modification on Hoffman's Pocket Technique With Scleral Fixation of Intraocular Lens (IOL), Case Series of Unique Scenarios.

The purpose of this study is to present our experience with Hoffman's SFIOL using double-armed Gore-Tex sutures (polytetrafluoroethylene) instead of 9.0 polypropylene suture method in four cases. In this case series article, we present our experience with Hoffman's SFIOL using double-armed Gore-Tex sutures (polytetrafluoroethylene) instead of 9.0 polypropylene sutures; the postoperative evaluation revealed well-centered IOL which did not exhibit any signs of instability in all four eyes, demonstrating a successful surgical outcome without observed complications. Hoffman's SFIOL using double-armed Gore-Tex could be safe and effective methods for cases with no adequate capsular support for the IOL implantation. Compared to prolene suture, Gore-Tex gives more tensile strength and requires less manipulation during surgery minimizing postoperative inflammation which could be a valuable option in the nearby future for similar cases.
