Abstract
AIM: To analyse the visual outcome & complications in secondary intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: A prospective clinical study was done in 30 aphakic patients who underwent secondary intraocular lens implantation in the posterior chamber. 17 patients had total absence of capsular remnants and underwent scleral fixation intraocular lens implantation. 10 patients had partial capsular remnants and they underwent ciliary sulcus fixation intraocular lens implantation. 3 patients had intact posterior capsule and underwent in the bag posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. These patents were followed up for 6 weeks post operatively. RESULTS: 83% of patients had BCVA of 6/9 and above after 6 weeks postoperatively. 3% of patients had BCVA of 6/24 and 13% of patients developed BCVA 6/36 and less. Minor complications like striate keratopathy, corneal oedema and anterior uveitis was seen and subsided with treatment. 1 patient had hyphema which results spontaneously. 1 patient had increased intraocular pressure for 1 week and was controlled with anti-glaucoma medications. 1 patient had persistent corneal oedema, 2 patients developed cystoid macular oedema and 1 patient developed retinal detachment. CONCLUSION: Secondary intraocular lens implantation in the posterior chamber is a safe and effective method of correcting aphakia and avoids the disadvantages associated with aphakic spectacles and contact lens.
