Implantable polypropylene capsular hook(s) for managing subluxated lenses: a prospective study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of using implantable polypropylene capsular hooks for the intrascleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with subluxated lenses. The study found that this technique resulted in stable IOL positioning and significant improvements in best-corrected visual acuity, with manageable postoperative complications, suggesting it is a feasible and safe approach for this condition.
