Abstract
Aims: To study the indications, safety, efficacy, post-operative outcome and complications in patients with primary
scleral fixated IOL implantation.
Materials and Methods: Forty patients, who underwent primary scleral fixated IOL implantation over a period of
2-years were analyzed for demographic data, indications, post-operative outcome, and complications of the procedure.
Results: The study group ranged from 16-30 years. The male:female ration was 1.86:1. Subluxated cataract was the most
common indication. All (100%) of our patients showed improvement in vision postoperatively. Complications were early
complications like corneal odema, hyphema, iritis, and late complications including cystoid macular edema, secondary
glaucoma, and astigmatism No vision-threatening complications including retinal detachment and endophthalmitis were
observed.
Conclusion: SF-IOLs give good anatomical and visual outcome in patients of cataract with inadequate capsular support.
