Description
Summary:PURPOSETo report visual and intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes of 4 eyes in 2 patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome having ocular fearures of spherophakia and secondary glaucoma who underwent fibrin glue assisted intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens (IOL).METHODSDetailed anterior and posterior segment evaluation assessing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, central corneal thickness was done in all. Lensectomy, vitrectomy with glued Intrascleral fixation of 3 piece intraocular lens was done. Post operative BCVA and IOP were assessed.RESULTSVisual acuity and IOP control improved post-operatively.CONCLUSIONSGlued IOL implantation is an effective method to visually rehabilitate and control glaucoma in patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome.
