AIM:To assess the clinical effect of ciliary groove suture of posterior chamber intraocular lens(IOL).METHODS:From November 2003 to August 2008,52 cases 53 eyes underwent ciliary groove suture with posterior chamber IOL all acquired satisfying result.We sutured one edge of the lens to the ciliary groove in 7 cases,which was called "single-haptic fixation".The other 45 cases 46 eyes were sutured the lens to ciliary groove in two sites,which was called "double-haptic fixation".RESULTS:Followed up for 3-48(average 18)months,the best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)was from 0.2 to 1.2 and 28 eyes(53%)were more than 0.6.The corneal scar and fundus oculi diseases resulted in poor vision.The intraocular pressure(IOP)in all eyes was normal.CONCLUSION:IOL suturing to the ciliary groove is an effective and safe method for correction of aphakia in eyes with inadequate posterior capsular support.
