Comparison of iris-fixated foldable lens and scleral-fixated foldable lens implantation in eyes with insufficient capsular support.

Aim: To compare the outcomes of vision using two different intraocular lens (IOL) replacement techniques, iris-fixated foldable intraocular lens (IF-IOL) and scleral-fixated foldable intraocular lens (SF-IOL) in patients with insufficient capsular support.

Methods: Total 63 eyes (62 patients) with insufficient posterior capsule support underwent replacement of IF-IOL or SF-IOL between January 2008 and August 2011. Outcome measures included changes in visual acuity, slit lamp examination, refractive indices and corneal curvatures.
