Subluxatie
Subluxatie

I present the case of a 62 male patient, who presented for examination with bilateral subluxated
lenses and decreased visual acuity. The bilateral subluxation was known anamnestic, without other
modifications of Marfan syndrome. Both eyes had nuclear cataract, iridodonesis, subluxated lenses
(RE sup-nas, LE sup-temp). Visual acuity was on right eye 0,4 with -6,0 Dsf, left eye 0,5 with -
7,0Dsf. Biometry didn’t showed corneal astigmatism, and so in order of the patient’s wishes we
decided to implant EDOF lenses, aiming micro-monovision. After removing the lens by
phacoemulsification, the capsular bag was stabilized with capsular ring, that permitted in the bag
implantation of the IOL. The chosen IOL was Miniwell from Sifi, which has four round haptics
enabling a good centration and stability. It’s co-polimer material is facilitating good
maneuverability and easy implantation. The two operations were done sequentially at one week in
topical anesthesia, on 2.2 clear cornea incision, without complications. Visual acuity on the second
day was RE 0,6 -1,0/90, LE 0,5 not correcting. At one month the patient was almost perfectly
satisfied, with acuity RE 1.0, LE 0.6 without correction and good reading ability. The IOL in his left
eye is a bit inferior decentered.
The biggest challenge during the two interventions was the stability of the capsular bags. This was
obtained by using a PMMA capsular hook after performing CCC. It is still a question to implant
multifocal or EDOF lenses in damaged capsular system eyes, but careful surgery and circumspect
patient information and consent makes it a viable choice.
