A Randomised Comparative Study of Visual Outcomes and Complications of Sutured Versus Sutureless Glueless Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens in Management of Aphakia.

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to Compare Visual Outcomes and Complications of Sutured Versus Sutureless Glueless Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens in Management of Aphakia. Patient with coexisting ocular morbidities like Glaucoma, Diabetic retinopathy, Cystoid macular edema, Retinal Detachment, Optic Atrophy, Macular hole and patients not ready for follow up were excluded. Results: The comparison of the two surgical techniques shows that the sutureless SFIOL method generally had fewer complications, particularly in the early postoperative period. However, some complications like IOL dislocation were equally observed in both methods. Overall, the sutureless technique appears to offer a safer profile with a higher percentage of patients experiencing no complications at all. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that sutureless glueless SF-IOL offers several advantages over traditional sutured methods, including reduced operative time, fewer suturerelated complications, and faster visual recovery. Both techniques significantly improve visual acuity, with sutureless methods showing faster and potentially better outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for ophthalmic surgeons in selecting the most effective treatment for aphakic patients. Further research and refinement of these techniques will continue to enhance patient outcomes and advance the field of ophthalmic surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
