Suture to limbus distances in eyes with a posterior chamber intraocular lens implanted by scleral fixation.
This study used linear regression to analyze the correlation between the location of transscleral sutures and the postoperative visual acuity, refraction, and anterior chamber depth in eyes with posterior chamber intraocular lenses implanted by scleral fixation. The suture-to-limbus distance at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions averaged 2.4 mm and 1.7 mm, respectively. Suture location had no statistically significant relationship with postoperative acuity, spherical equivalent, astigmatism, or anterior chamber depth.
