Abstract
Background and objective: To describe the use of fascia lata to cover the polypropylene knots of scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOL).
Patients and methods: Fascia lata was used to cover the knots of scleral fixated PCIOL in 5 eyes with significant scleral thinning. Four of the 5 eyes had the PCIOL insertion and the fascia lata patching in the same setting. The fifth eye previously had scleral fixated PCIOL with late suture erosion through a partial thickness scleral flap.
Results: There was no suture exposure or graft thinning throughout a follow-up period of 8 to 16 months. The eyes tolerated the fascia lata well with no early or late postoperative complications.
Conclusion: Fascia lata provides an effective means to cover the knots of scleral fixated PCIOL, especially in aphakic patients with significant scleral thinning.
