This meta-analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of ciliary sulcus versus capsular bag fixation for intraocular lens implantation in 843 pediatric patients. The study found no significant differences in postoperative visual outcomes, but ciliary sulcus fixation was associated with a higher risk of secondary glaucoma (RR=0.43, p=0.04).

Key findings

  • Ciliary sulcus fixation had a significantly higher risk of secondary glaucoma (RR=0.43, p=0.04).
  • No significant differences were found in postoperative BCVA or inflammation incidence (p>0.05).
  • Myopic shift was more pronounced in the ciliary sulcus fixation group.
  • Uveitis incidence was higher in the ciliary sulcus group.

Why it matters

Understanding the comparative risks and benefits of these fixation techniques is crucial for optimizing pediatric cataract surgery outcomes and minimizing complications.
