The safety and efficacy of a modified technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) for intracapsular aphakia (secondary IOL) or after complicated phacoemulsification was evaluated. All eyes had inadequate or no posterior capsular support. Follow-up was between 4 and 26 months (mean, 12 months). Uncorrected visual acuity improved (> 2 lines) in all patients. During follow-up, the IOL was correctly positioned in all cases. There were no major complications, such as endophthalmitis or suture erosion through the conjunctiva at the site of fixation. No patient required further surgical interventions. This modified technique of transscleral fixation of foldable posterior chamber IOL offers the advantages of a small incision and rapid visual rehabilitation, and minimizes the risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of slow-coagulation transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (SC-TSCPC) in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG).
Methods: A single-center, retrospective non-comparative study including consecutive patients with medically uncontrolled PXG who underwent SC-TSCPC (1250-milliwatt power and 4-second duration). The primary outcome measure was surgical success (defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) between 6 - 21 mmHg with ≥20% reduction compared to baseline and no need for further glaucoma surgeries or development of vision-threatening complications).

Over the past two decades, both suture and sutureless techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses have seen significant advancement, driven by improvements in methodologies and instrumentation. Despite numerous reports demonstrating the effectiveness, safety, and superiority of these techniques, each approach carries with it its own drawbacks, including an elevated risk of certain postoperative complications. This article delves into various surgical techniques for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses, discussing their procedural nuances, benefits, drawbacks, postoperative complications, and outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with subsequent trans-scleral diode cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) as the main intervention if IOP remained medically uncontrolled.
Patients And Methods: Charts of 108 consecutive eyes (90 patients) that underwent AGV implantation from 2003 to 2018 at a single clinical practice were retrospectively reviewed. The procedure was considered a failure if any of the following occurred: additional incisional glaucoma surgery, IOP >21 mmHg or < 20% reduction from baseline on 2 consecutive study visits after 3 months, IOP ≤ 5 mmHg on 2 consecutive study visits after 3 months, loss of light perception, or AGV removal.

Introduction: To investigate 5-year outcomes on intraocular pressure (IOP) and safety of micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in patients with glaucoma.
Methods: Patients with mild to advanced glaucoma who underwent a standardized micropulse TSCPC procedure at the University Eye Clinic Maastricht from November 2016 to February 2019 were included.
Results: A total of 165 eyes were included, with outcomes for 112 eyes available after 5-year follow-up.
