To describe surgical outcomes and structural characteristics of IOLs implanted with transconjunctival sutureless intrascleral (SIS) fixation in human eyes. Retrospective interventional surgical case series involving live and cadaveric human eyes. In this study, we investigated the surgical outcomes and structural anatomy of secondary IOLs implanted with the SIS technique in human eyes. All cases involving SIS IOL fixation performed at a single academic center from January 1 2012 through July 30 2016 were reviewed to describe the surgical technique, common indications, clinical outcomes, and the rate of common operative complications. In order to investigate the structure of SIS-fixated IOLs in vivo, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ultrasound biomiscroscopy (UBM), and intraoperative endoscopy were analyzed to describe anatomic outcomes. The primary anatomic outcomes were the optic pupillary centration and location of haptic externalization. Results were correlated with cadaveric human eyes that underwent the SIS-IOL technique. Cadaveric eyes were imaged and analyzed using high-resolution photography for centration, stress measurements at the haptic-optic junction, and qualitative descriptors of IOL optic and haptic position. A total of 122 consecutive patients that underwent IOL placement using SIS technique were included in the study with mean follow-up of 1.52 years (range, 0.4–4.5 years). The majority (75%) of patients received a new 3-piece IOL for primary aphakia or after IOL exchange. The other patients (25%) had a dislocated 3-piece IOL that was rescued using the SIS technique. Preoperative mean Snellen visual acuity was 20/633 (logMAR=1.501). At the final visit, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was 20/83 (logMAR=0.6243) and final mean spherical equivalent was −0.57 diopters. The most common complications were vitreous hemorrhage (22% of eyes), which resolved spontaneously in majority of cases, and cystoid macular edema. The rates of IOL dislocation, IOL decentration, haptic erosion, IOL tilting, iris capture and endophthalmitis were low. Intraoperative endoscopy and UBM demonstrated a securely fixated IOL, and well-centered optic without iris or ciliary body touch. Structural study of cadaveric eyes confirmed IOL optic and haptic anatomy observed during live human surgery. The ab interno haptic insertion was the anterior pars plana, away from iris, ciliary processes and ora serrata. The degree of haptic externalization was correlated with the degree of strain on the haptic-optic junction. The angle of the haptic-optic junction in SIS-fixated IOLs (33.97°) was not significantly different compared to overlaid native non-fixated IOL (32.93°), but increased slightly with degree of haptic tip externalization (36.26 ° and 39.16° for 2mm and 3mm haptic externalizations, respectively). In this comprehensive study, we demonstrate the surgical outcomes achieved with SIS fixation of IOLs. Surgical and post-operative complications do occur, albeit at a low rate, and can effectively be managed with excellent anatomic and visual outcomes. The structural and anatomic data in this study may help guide SIS placement and optimize long-term surgical results.
