Subluxated lens: Phacoemulsification with iris hooks

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2003
We describe a technique to manage subluxated cataracts with the use of 4 or 5 disposable nylon iris hooks placed on the capsulorhexis edge to support the lens and stabilize the capsular bag during phacoemulsification. The use of an endocapsular tension ring provides excellent centration of the capsular bag, enabling endocapsular intraocular lens (IOL ...

Subluxation of the Lens Following Detachment Surgery

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1958
Displacements of the lens can be classified into three groups, namely, congenital, traumatic, and spontaneous (or consecutive). In nearly all of the cases in these types the primary disturbance is in the lens zonule, which is the most important structure in maintaining the position of the lens.

Detection of Lens Subluxation in Pseudoexfoliation

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1988
To the Editor. —The association between pseudoexfoliation and lens subluxation is well known. It is especially important to detect both conditions before planned extracapsular cataract surgery. I have seen several patients with pseudoexfoliation in whom only a slight phacodenesis was present.

Management of subluxated lens in young patients

Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología (English Edition), 2013
To evaluate visual outcomes in patients treated for lens subluxation. Secondary objectives are to report best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in LogMAR and compare the outcomes of patients managed conservatively with those treated surgically.Retrospective comparison of BCVA in patients under 50 years-old with lens subluxation, managed conservatively or ...

CONGENITAL BILATERAL SUBLUXATION OF THE LENS

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1945
Partial dislocation of the lens presents a definite problem both for the patient and for the surgeon. Recently, Clapp 1 reported on a family with ectopic lenses in which 8 out of 11 children showed this defect. Burch 2 gave a rather complete report of cases of ectopia of the lens, in some of which the additional feature of arachnodactyly was presented.

Iris hooks for phacoemulsification of the subluxated lens

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1997
Phacoemulsification of the lens in eyes with zonular loss risks dislocation of the lens into the vitreous cavity. We describe the use of iris hooks after capsulorhexis to support the lens during surgery. With iris hooks, the lens can be stabilized, helping prevent additional loss of zonules and permitting retention of the capsule to support an ...
