Short-term results of scleral intraocular lens fixation in children.
PURPOSE: To study the safety and efficacy of scleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation in children. SETTING: A university practice. METHODS: This retrospective review evaluated the results and complications in 6 consecutive eyes of 3 children who had anterior vitrectomy, with or without lensectomy, and scleral IOL fixation to correct ectopia lentis or aphakia. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 17.3 months (range 13 to 21 months), all eyes had a stable and well-positioned posterior chamber IOL and good visual improvement. The only complication was asymptomatic pupillary capture of the IOL in 3 eyes. Reversal of the pupillary capture was achieved by pupil dilation with the patient in a supine position. CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary results of scleral IOL fixation in children are encouraging. The procedure's application in well-selected cases can be considered. However, its long-term safety and efficacy must be further assessed through studies with larger sample sizes and a longer follow-up.
