dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the result of a surgical technique to insert and secure a standard posterior chamber lens through a simple limbal incision in eyes that had no capsular support or whose capsule was inadvertently ruptured during extracapsular cataract extraction. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Retrospective review of the medical records of patients who underwent translimbal fixation of posterior chamber lenses according to age, gender, preoperative visual acuity, postoperative visual acuity, follow-up period and any complications, especially those that may be related to the surgical technique. RESULTS: Twelve patients were recruited in the present study. The patents' age ranged from 31 to 77 years, with a mean of 62.58 years. There were 9 male and 3 female patients. The preoperative visual acuity ranged from hand motion to counting fingers, and the postoperative visual acuity ranged from 6/6 to 6/24 except one patient who had postoperative visual acuity of counting fingers due to a pre-existing macular hole. The length of follow-up period ranged from 3 to 12 months, with a mean of 6.17 months. There was no clinically significant lens-related complication. CONCLUSION: This simple surgical technique controls the location of the needle entry and exit to decrease the risk of bleeding and increase the chance of ciliary sulcus placement. An inferior groove was made to bury the suture knot and was sutured closed to prevent the knot erosion through the conjunctiva.en_US
