Pearls and tricks of the flanged IOL sutures fixation

Complications in cataract surgery are often a nightmare for surgeons. Intraoperative complications are more common in diabetic patients, and solving aphakia in these cases remains a challenge.
In a recently published study, Dr Matias Iglicki, Dr Dinah Zur and colleagues analysed the role of a secondary sutureless scleral intraocular lens (IOL) flanged fixation in diabetic patients without capsular support. Also, the investigators compared the anatomical and functional outcomes using a 30 gauge (G) ultrathin wall needle vs. a 27-G needle. The authors reported that compared to a 27G needle technique, the sutureless IOL flanged technique using a 30G UTW needle is more predictable and has fewer complications in aphakic diabetic patients.
