A case study of pars plana vitrectomy with scleral flaps covering a two-point sutured scleral-fixated intraocular lens in a tertiary care eye hospital

PURPOSE: To evaluate the functional outcomes and complications of pars plana vitrectomy with scleral flaps covered with a two-point sutured scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL). METHODS: A retrospective, single-center, single-surgeon case study, including 97 cases. About 25 G pars plana vitrectomy with a two-point sutured scleral-fixated IOL was used as a surgical modality. RESULTS: This study included 97 patients and eyes with scleral IOL fixation, with a mean follow-up of 6 months. The indications for SFIOL were divided into cases of surgical aphakia (63, 64.94%), hyper-mature cataract not suitable for routine procedure (5,5.15%), traumatic cataracts not suitable for routine procedures (18,18.5%), and other categories (11,64.94%). In this study, the median ± standard deviation of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) values in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) pre, post 1 month, 3 months, 6 months showed statistically significant improvement in VA with P value
