PG - 66-74 LID - S0002-9394(21)00662-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ajo.2021.12.019 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To compare the intraocular inflammation after 2 surgical approaches for late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial. METHODS: We randomly assigned 100 patients (100 eyes) referred to Oslo University Hospital (tertiary referral center) with late in-the-bag IOL dislocation into IOL repositioning by scleral suturing (n=49) or IOL exchange with retropupillary fixation of an iris-claw lens (n=51). Patients were examined before surgery and 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 6 months after surgery. The main outcome measure was anterior chamber laser flare, measured with a laser flare meter as photon counts per millisecond (pc/ms). RESULTS: Two weeks following surgery, median flare values were 28.9 pc/ms (range, 7.9-140) in the repositioning group and 31.6 pc/ms (range, 9.8-92.3) in the exchange group (P = .83). Flare levels were still elevated after 6 weeks with no difference between the groups (P = .93), whereas it decreased to baseline levels after 6 months. Six weeks following surgery, the central retinal thickness was similar (P = .97); cystoid macular edema (CME) was found in 4 and 5 patients, respectively (P = .85); and the mean best corrected visual acuity was 0.17 (95% CI 0.09, 0.25) and 0.21 (95% CI 0.09, 0.32) logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, respectively (P = .61). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed similar levels of intraocular inflammation following IOL repositioning and IOL exchange. There was no significant difference regarding risk of CME and visual outcome. The prolonged elevation in postoperative flare indicates a possible requirement for an extended anti-inflammatory treatment period after these operations. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 The Author(s).
