Past, present and future of suspensory IOL implantation

Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2023, Vol 38, Issue 2

Abstract

In recent years, ectopia lentis has gradually attracted the attention of ophthalmologists, and the exploration and improvement of surgery for ectopia lentis has been in progress. With the invention of phacoemulsification technology and the improvement of intraocular implant materials, the implantation and fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with ectopia lentis has become the focus of ophthalmologists. Suspensory IOL implantation is a classic operation for IOL implantation in patients with severe lens dislocation or aphakia with insufficient capsular bag support. It has mainly gone through three stages: traditional trans-sclera suture-fixed posterior chamber IOL, kontless posterior chamber IOL fixation represented by Z suture, and sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation. Understanding and mastering the advantages and limitations of various IOL fixation methods is of great importance for improving the diagnosis and treatment level of ophthalmologists and as well as the prognosis of patients.
