TO EVALUATE INITIALLY THE OUTCOMES OF INTRAOCULAR LENS FIXATION WITHOUT SUTURES AT SOME EYE HOSPITALS IN HANOI
Overview
Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate initially the results of 
Intraocular Lens(IOLs) Fixation without sutures at 
some Eye Hospitals in Hanoi. Subjects and research 
methods: Descriptive study without a control group 
on 32 eyes, which were indicated for IOLs Fixation of 
29 patients from 8/2021 to 8/2022. A prospective 
descriptive clinical study of all patients with IOLs 
Fixation without sutures for 1 month. Results: The 
male/female ratio in the study was approximately 
5.4/1. The mean age was 54.72 ± 14.2 years old (the 
youngest was 20 years old and the oldest was 72 
years old). Most cases had traumatic causes, 
accounting for 71.86%, closed globe injury (62.5%), 
open globe injury (9.38%), lens pathology (15.63%), 
complication of phacoemulsification (12.50%). The 
ratio of right eye/left eye is similar (43.75%/56.25%). 
After surgery and follow-up time after 1 month, no 
serious complications were detected such as: retinal 
detachment, endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, 
cystic macular edema. Complications occur at a small 
rate: increased intraocular pressure 1/32 eyes 
(3,13%). All IOLs Fixation eyes improved visual acuity 
after surgery. The LogMAR average maximum 
corrected visual acuity 1 month after surgery was 0.36 
± 0.13 (the lowest acuity level was 20/60, the highest 
was 20/25). The mean intraocular pressure decreased 
slightly from 17.97 ± 7.66 mmHg to one month after 
surgery to 15.03 ± 5.55 mmHg. Conclusion: The 
technique of IOLs Fixation without sutures is quite 
safe, although there is a certain rate of complications, 
but at a mild level, it can be easily intervened without 
affecting the final results.
