Sutureless scleral-fixated soleko fil carlevale intraocular lens and associated pars plana vitrectomy in aphakia management: a national multicenter audit
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of sutureless scleral-fixated (SSF) Soleko Fil Carlevale intraocular lens (SC-IOL) implants associated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with aphakia secondary to complicated cataract surgery or IOL luxation nationwide...

| Sumario: | Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of sutureless scleral-fixated (SSF) Soleko Fil Carlevale intraocular lens (SC-IOL) implants associated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with aphakia secondary to complicated cataract surgery or IOL luxation nationwide. Methods: A multicenter, national, retrospective study of 268 eyes (268 patients) which underwent simultaneous PPV and SC-IOL implantation was conducted. Demographics; ocular data; pre-surgical, surgical and post-surgical details; and refractive results were collected. Intra- and postoperative complications and management details were described. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central retinal thickness (CRT) were collected at 1 week and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to assess the cumulative probability of postoperative BCVA, IOP levels, macular edema (ME) and corneal decompensation. Results: The cumulative probability of final VA <= 0.3 logMAR was 64.4% at 12 months follow-up. The probability of IOP > 21, >= 25 and >= 30 mmHg was 29.8%, 16.9% and 10.1%, respectively, and the cumulative probability of IOP-lowering treatment was 42.3% at 12 months. Glaucoma surgery was required in 3.7% of the eyes (10/268). The cumulative probability of postoperative ME development was 26.6% at 12 months, managed with topical treatment alone (73.5%) and intravitreal injections (26.5%). Corneal transplantation was required in 3.7% of the eyes (10/268). Conclusions: Sutureless scleral-fixated SC-IOL is an adequate therapeutic alternative in the management of aphakia with good visual results and an acceptable safety profile in routine clinical care. Longer-term studies are needed to evaluate its results and complications compared to other therapeutic alternatives. |
