Transsclerally sulcus fixated anterior chamber lenses in eyes without posterior capsule support: three years follow up.
Three years ago we started to implant commercially available anterior chamber lenses with S-shaped haptics an multipoint support into the posterior chamber in cases of secundary lensimplantation after intracapsular cataract operation. The lenses were transsclerally fixed by two sutures through the ciliry sulcus. They exhibit more stability than the C-loop posterior chamber lens and induce some scar formation possibly enabling them to stay firm even after degradation of the suture.
