Supplementary Material for: Intrascleral Fixation of an Intraocular Lens through the Pars Plana Prevents Corneal Endothelial Damage Karger Publishers 2019 Intraocular lens Corneal endothelial damage Aphakia 2019-02-04 14:46:25 Dataset https://karger.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Supplementary_Material_for_Intrascleral_Fixation_of_an_Intraocular_Lens_through_the_Pars_Plana_Prevents_Corneal_Endothelial_Damage/7667831 We report two cases of aphakia in whom an intraocular lens (IOL) was intrasclerally fixated through the pars plana to minimize further corneal endothelial damage. A modified lock-and-lead technique was used. A sclerotomy and scleral incision were made 2.5 mm from the limbus. A 24-G catheter needle was used for penetration of the leading haptic, and two ultrathin 30-G needles were used to bury the ends of the haptics. The scleral incision was sutured with 8-0 nylon. Corneal endothelial cells were preserved after surgery. Neither intra- nor postoperative complications were observed. Intrascleral fixation of an IOL through the pars plana effectively minimizes further damage to corneal endothelial cells in select cases.
