Anterior Chamber Versus Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens: Long-term Vision and Safety Outcomes

Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss | Secondary Intraocular Lens

This is a prospective comparative non-randomized cohort study to understand the long-term vision outcomes, safety, and stability of anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC IOLs) vs. scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (SF IOLs).

Participation Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who are undergoing AC IOL or SF IOL implantation for any reason (including but not limited to aphakia, posterior capsular rupture, primary or secondary lens dislocation/ subluxation or IOL exchange).
2. Patients on whom imaging (specular microscopy, biometry and OCT) can be performed without delaying their treatment (i.e. based on availability of operator).
3. Decision makers able to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:
