Comparative Study of Visual Outcome of Anterior Chamber Intraocular Lens versus Scleral Fixated Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens

Cataract is the commonest age related disease in most countries world wide. The endocapsular placement of an IOL is undoubtedly anatomically preferable following successful cataract extraction. We describe a comparative study of visual outcome of the two different intraocular lens namely Anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL) and suture fixaed PCIOL (SFPCIOL). We analysed 60 patients and concluded that both ACIOL and SFPCIOL are safe and effective options in the absence of capsular support. Ultimately, individual patient factors and surgeon preference and expertise should be guide to decide as to which intraocular lens is most appropriate for each patient.
