Prakash DN, Raghavendra R and Shreedevi Badagi

Aim: To estimate the visual outcome and proportion of surgical complication in patients following sulcus fixated PCIOL.

Method: Prospective, Observational study of 30 patients who had been rendered aphakic during primary ocular surgery for any reason with significant posterior capsular support was considered for secondary IOL implantation. Study period was from November 2017 to April 2018.

Results: Among 15 patients visual acuity was 6\6-6\12, in 15 (50%), 6\18-6\36 in 10 (33.3%) and CF 1 mt-6\60 in 5 (16.67%) patients at the end of 6 weeks follow up period. Post op complications included uveitis seen in 15 (50.0%) patients CME in 20 (66.6%) epiretinal membranes 4 (13.3%) decentered IOL in 2 (6.6%) patient. Vitreous hemorrhage in 3 (10%) patient and 2 (6.6%) patient had developed secondary glaucoma.

Conclusion: In case of intra-operative posterior capsular rupture with doubtful capsular support, sulcus fixated Secondary IOL implantation, has excellent results. Long-term complications were found to be similar to primary PCIOL implantation.
