  Different ways of secondary IOL implantation without capsular support in MIVS era EBO Accredited

  Leader: M. Forlini | Course Level: Intermediate

• Faculty:    B. Malyugin   A. Mohr   R. Bellucci   C. Carlevale   G. Scharioth  

  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : The implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) within the capsular bag at the same time of cataract extraction represents the standard of care in cataract surgery. Sometimes such a primary IOL implant is not possible due to intraoperative complications or preexisting conditions, so that a secondary implantation of IOL in the anterior or posterior chamber is required. Secondary IOL implantation may concern aphakia, be it traumatic, following complicated cataract surgery, or related to congenital anomalies. This course uses high quality surgical video to teach various techniques to treat aphakia. Retropupillary implantation of the iris claw intraocular lens and scleral fixation of IOLs when adequate capsular bag support is not available. The iris-fixed IOL implantation is now the gold standard because we can avoid to open the conjunctiva and, very important, change the approach removing the remnants of capsula and vitreous in the ciliar body area. Other way is the scleral fixation. Practical instruction on techniques used both in relocating subluxed IOLs and in primary placement of scleral fixated IOLs will be demonstrated. Use of microendoscopy for the suture of scleral IOL is showed and methods for securing haptics in scleral tunnels will be taught, including tips for success.
  
  COURSE OBJECTIVES: : Attendees will learn how to choose the appropriate method of secondary intraocular lens implantation in MIVS era for each situation and be familiar with the steps needed for each technique. The speakers will focus on: ﾕ Mid/long-term results of specific types of secondary IOL implant ﾕ Comparison among different models or different techniques of implantations ﾕ New devices ﾕ Original imaging studies to evaluate interaction between the implant and the surrounding ocular structures ﾕ The use of an implant model in different etiological scenarios
