Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of suture-fixation of foldable intraocular lens for non-posterior-capsular aphakia.

Methods: Akreos intraocular lens (from Bausch-Lamb Company) were selected for operation in aphakia with non-posterior-capsule or less capsule supporting intraocular lens. Complications and visual acuity were observed.

Results: There was no significant complication in the operation. Choroidal detachment occurred in 2 eyes postoperatively. Visual acuity of 0.3 accounted for 56.67%, 76.67%, 86.67%, and 90% respectively on the first day, at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the operation.

Conclusion: Suture-fixation of Akreos intraocular lens is a good choice for non-posterior-capsular aphakia.
