Abstract
in English, German

A variety of situations can lead to the need for an alternative method of intraocular lens (IOL) fixation if implantation in the capsular bag is not possible. Depending on the situation, sulcus-fixated IOLs, iris-fixated IOLs (IFIOLs) and scleral-fixated IOLs (SFIOLs) are available. With SFIOLs, a distinction is made between suture-fixated and sutureless-fixated techniques. This paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, including the newer methods of sutureless SFIOLs. The decision on a specific approach in the individual case depends on both the individual circumstances of the patient and the experience of the surgeon.

Eine Vielzahl an Situationen kann zur Notwendigkeit führen, eine Intraokularlinse(IOL) andernorts als im Kapselsack zu fixieren. Je nach Ausgangssituation stehen sulcusfixierte IOL, irisfixierte IOL (IFIOL) und sklerafixierte (SFIOL) zur Verfügung. Bei den SFIOL werden nahtfixierte von nahtlos fixierten Techniken unterschieden. Diese Arbeit soll einen Überblick über die Vor- und Nachteile der Methoden, einschließlich der neueren Methoden der nahtlosen SFIOL, geben. Welches Verfahren im jeweiligen Fall angewendet wird, hängt sowohl von den individuellen Gegebenheiten des Patienten als auch von der Erfahrung des Operateurs ab.

Keywords: Complication management; IOL exchange; Iris-fixated IOLs; Sleral-fixated IOLs; Sulcus-fixated IOLs.
