Abstract
Purpose :
To investigate of the changes in higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in patients who underwent sutured scleral fixation and modified yamane sutureless scleral fixation.
Methods :
Total 40 eyes of 40 patients who underwent scleral fixation were include. Best-corrected visual acuisit, menifested refraction, and total, corneal, and internal optic HOAs (trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism) were measured before and 1month, 3months were compared between sutured scleral fixation and modified yamane sutureless scleral fixation.
Results :
The mean age of the patients was 56.5±13.2 years at the time of scleral fixation. There were 20 patients with sutured scleral fixation and 20 patients with modified yamane sutureless scleral fixation. Total and interal optic HOAs were significantly higher in pateitns with modified yamane sutureless scleral fixation. Trefoil, coma, tretafoil component were signifcantyl higher. ( P=0.025, P=0.026 and P=0.042)
Conclusions :
The modified yamane suturless scleral fixation could avoid suture-related complications amd be a [rp,osomg a;termatove tp treat pateints with insufficient capsular support. But maybe induced and increased in HOAs.
