Trauma and other systemic conditions can affect the natural support system that support the introcular lens after cataract surgery. This in turn is related to displacement or dislocation of the intraocular lens months or years after the initial surgery.

In certain circumstances the same dislocated lens can be refixated (IOL reposition) Sometimes the intraocular lens is removed and exchanged for a new one (IOL exchange). Our specialists are experienced with advanced microsurgical techniques to refixate an intraocular lens bypassing the damaged natural support system. These include iris sutured IOL, scleral glued IOL, Yamane flanged intrascleral IOL fixation.

When the natural support system that usually holds the intraocular lens is damaged your surgeon must create a new support system to hold the intraocular lens. In certain situations suturing the haptics of the intraocular lens to the iris secures the lens into position in order to restore vision. The sutures the hold the IOL are permanent and non-dissolvable.

When the natural support system that usually holds the intraocular lens is damaged your surgeon must create a new support system to hold the intraocular lens. In certain situations gluing the haptics of the IOL to the eye wall (sclera) can secure the lens into position in order to restore vision. This procedure has the advantage of being sutureless.

When the natural support system that usually holds the intraocular lens is damaged your surgeon must create a new support system to hold the intraocular lens. In certain situations securing the haptics to the eye wall( sclera) by making a flange at the end of each haptic can secure the lens into position in order to restore vision. This procedure has the advantage of being sutureless.
