EctopiaLentis Mohammad Ghoreishi, MD Isfahan University of medical sciences info@persianeyeclinic.com
Case history • 20 y/o male • Referred for refractive surgery due to high myopia • VA • OD: CF 4/10 • OS: CF 5/10 • Refraction • OD: -19.5- 0.5 x 180 • OS: -20.0-1.00 x 180 • IOP • OD: 39 mm Hg • OS: 39 mm Hg He was diagnosed as ectopialentis and microspherophakia with secondary NA glaucom
Definition • Displacement of the crystalline lens from its original position • Subluxation: when displacement is partial with part of the lens still in normal position • Luxation or dislocation: when lens is completely displaced, in AC or Vitreous
Causes • Traumatic (most common cause) • Hereditary ectopialentis without systemic manifestations • Single (isolated) ectopialentis • Ectopialentis et pupillae
Ectopialentis with systemic disease • Marfan syndrome • Autosomal dominant • Tall stature • Arachnodactyly, joint laxity, mitral valve prolapse, aortic dilatation • Axial myopia, and increased incidence of retinal detachment • Lens dislocation (about 75% of patients ) , usually bilateral, symmetrical, and supartemporal
Ectopialentis with systemic disease • Homocystinuria • Absence of cystathionine b-synthetase (the enzyme that converts homocysteine to cystathionine). • Fair skin with coarse hair, osteoporosis, mental retardation, seizure disorder, marfanoidhabitus, and poor circulation • Thromboembolic events constitute the major threat to survival, especially following general anesthesia. • Lens luxation usually is bilateral, symmetrical, and inferonasal, and presents in nearly 90% of patients
Ectopialentis with systemic disease • Weil-Marchesani • Short stature, brachydactyly, limited joint mobility • Microspherophakia , ectopialentis, lenticular myopia • Pupillary block glaucoma • Sulfite oxidase deficiency • Defect in sulfur metabolism • Progressive CNS abnormalities • Ectopialentis • Hyperlysinemia • Enzymatic defect of amino acid metabolism • Mental retardation and lens dislocation. • Increased plasma levels of lysine
Primary ocular disorders associated with ectopialentis • Congenital glaucoma/buphthalmos • Pseudoexfoliation syndrome • Syphilis/chronic uveitis • Retinitis pigmentosa • Megalocornea • Aniridia • Hypermature cataract • Intraocular tumor • High myopia
Indications for surgery • Impaired vision due to cataract or refractive error not improved by other corrective methods • Induced or thread for glaucoma
Preop evaluation • Refraction and vision • Systemic evaluation …Homocystinuria…. …Marfan…. • Glaucoma, angle • Retinal detachment • Corneal endothelium
Loose zonules , no subluxation • Diagnosing the condition is important • Preventive measures • Pupil dilation • Capsular staining, large rhexis • Suporting the capsule with iris retractors • Smooth phaco parameters • Supracapsular technique • CTR without or with fixation if necessary
Capsular tension rings (CTR) • Standard • Cioni • Capsular tension segments (CTS) • Inserted before or after phacoemulsification The Cionni-modified CTR can be sutured to the sclera. The CTS, with its 90º arc, can be inserted at a specific site of zonular weakness
Surgical technique Lensectomy, Artisan aphakia
Surgical technique ECCE, Artisan Aphakia
