What is scleral fixation of an intraocular lens?
Scleral fixation is a procedure used when an IOL cannot be supported reliably in its normal position. The lens haptics are secured to the sclera, the white outer wall of the eye. The Yamane technique is one method of scleral fixation, but it is not suitable for every case. The surgical approach depends on the eye’s anatomy and the type of IOL.

21	Do I need a new IOL if I develop a secondary cataract? What is commonly called a “secondary cataract” is usually posterior capsule opacification (PCO). When treatment is needed, it can often be managed with a YAG laser capsulotomy rather than an IOL excha...
20	Can an intraocular lens still be exchanged many years after cataract surgery? An older IOL may still be exchanged, but surgery can become more challenging as adhesions develop between the lens and capsular bag over time. We compare the likely benefits and risks of exchange and ...
19	If there is bleeding inside my eye, will I need surgery right away? It depends on what caused the bleeding and the condition of the retina. In some cases, vitreous hemorrhage can be monitored while the blood clears. However, prompt evaluation and possibly surgery may ...
18	Can I be evaluated if problems develop after retinal surgery elsewhere? Yes. If you may have recurrent retinal detachment, persistent bleeding, or changes in the macula after surgery, we can examine your eye and review possible treatments. If available, please bring the d...
17	I have been told I may have retinal detachment. Where should I go? If retinal detachment is suspected or has been diagnosed, it is important to be examined promptly by an eye specialist who can assess the retina thoroughly. When choosing a clinic, check whether retin...
16	Does retinal detachment need to be operated on urgently? Retinal detachment is an eye emergency, and the timing of surgery can have a major impact on vision after treatment. Prompt surgery is particularly important before the macula, the part of the retina ...
15	What is the difference between air and gas used during retinal detachment surgery? During retinal detachment surgery, air or a medical gas may be placed inside the eye to help keep the retina in position while it heals. Air is absorbed faster than longer-acting gases, which can allo...
14	Will I have to lie face down after retinal detachment surgery? Not always. Your postoperative positioning depends on the location of the retinal breaks, whether air, gas, or silicone oil was used, and the surgical technique. Some patients need to keep their head ...
13	Can retinal detachment happen again after surgery? Yes. Retinal detachment can recur because of a new retinal break, remaining traction, or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, among other causes. Keep your scheduled retinal follow-up appointments, and se...
12	Can I have vision correction surgery if I have severe myopia or thin corneas? Severe nearsightedness or thin corneas do not automatically rule out every type of vision correction. However, we need to determine whether enough corneal tissue would remain after treatment and check...
11	How soon can I return to work or exercise after vision correction surgery? Recovery varies according to the procedure and the individual. Discomfort and fluctuating vision may last longer after LASEK, while temporary dryness or fluctuations in vision can also occur after LAS...
10	I had LASIK or LASEK years ago, but my vision has become blurry again. Can I have another procedure? A second procedure may be possible, but the first step is to identify why your vision has changed. Treatment will differ depending on whether the cause is residual nearsightedness or astigmatism, dry ...
