Suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes lacking capsular support is increasingly common. Anatomical measurements of the ciliary sulcus aid surgeons in precise IOL placement for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Trans-scleral ciliary sulcus and iris suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) are established techniques for eyes without posterior capsular support.
  • These methods are primary choices for IOL exchange in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and secondary IOL insertion in aphakia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the anatomical dimensions of the ciliary sulcus and its relationship to the limbus.
  • To provide data that can guide ophthalmic surgeons in selecting appropriate IOL designs and ensuring accurate placement during secondary IOL procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen postmortem human eyes were utilized for the study.
  • Eyes were sectioned coronally to visualize the ciliary sulcus and ciliary body.

  • Measurements of ciliary sulcus diameter and limbus-ciliary sulcus distance were performed using needles.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean ciliary sulcus diameter was measured to be 11.0 +/- 0.37 mm.
    • The mean distance from the limbus to the ciliary sulcus was found to be 0.9 mm.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate placement of posterior chamber IOL loops in the ciliary sulcus relies on a thorough understanding of ocular anatomy.
    • The anatomical measurements obtained in this study can assist surgeons in choosing suitable IOLs and optimizing surgical outcomes for IOL exchange or secondary IOL implantation.
