Scleral Fixation of Intraocular Lens Implants in Sarasota, FL

Scleral fixation of an intraocular lens implant is a procedure used in specialized cases of lens dislocation or lensectomy where the normal lens structures are no longer functional. This procedure involves securing an intraocular lens implant to the wall of the eye using surgically created tunnels or sutures.

The risks of scleral fixation of an intraocular lens implant include pain, intraocular inflammation, increased intraocular pressure, retinal detachment, changes in glasses prescription, astigmatism, lens dislocation, iris damage, vision loss, bleeding, and infection.
