Background.
To evaluate the outcome and complications of transscleral suture-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation combined with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) surgery in Asian eyes.
Design.
This was a retrospective study that included 22 eyes from 22 participants.
The surgeries were performed at Singapore’s National University Hospital.
Participants underwent an Ahmed tube surgery, together with transscleral suture-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens.
Main Outcome Measures.
Complete success was defined as 6 ≤ intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 21 mmHg without medications at the last follow-up visit, with no reoperation required and no progression to no perception of light (NPL).
Results.
At the last follow-up, there was a significant reduction in mean IOP (22.4 ± 6.5 mmHg versus 13.9 ± 3.9 mmHg; p<0.001) and mean number of intraocular pressure-lowering medications (2.45 ± 1.30 versus 0.05 ± 0.21; p<0.001).
There was no significant change in visual acuity [1.43 ± 1.21 (LogMAR) versus 1.09 ± 1.31 (p=0.204)].
Sixteen eyes (72.7%) achieved complete success.
The 3 commonest complications were bullous keratopathy, choroidal detachment, and displacement of intraocular lens.
Conclusion and Relevance.
This technique showed good success for intraocular pressure control and vision preservation.
Postoperative complications were relatively common although most were self-limiting.
Patients at increased risk of trabeculectomy failure may be suitable for this procedure.
