PURPOSE: To report on the outcome of combined pars plana phacofragmentation, vitrectomy, and Artisan lens implantation in the management of subluxated cataracts. METHODS: This prospective, interventional, nonrandomized case series included nine eyes of seven consecutive adult patients with traumatic lens subluxation. Pre- and postoperative data (complete manifest refraction, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination findings, intraocular pressure, fundus status, numerical density of endothelial cells, corneal thickness, and complications) were collected prospectively for all patients. RESULTS: After a median postoperative follow-up of 12 months (range, 8-18 months), a mean spherical equivalent of -0.50 +/- 0.87 diopter (range, +1 to -1.50 diopter) was achieved. The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity improved from 1 (preoperatively) to 0.1 (postoperatively) (P = 0.007, Wilcoxon test). Median endothelial cell losses of 15 +/- 8% (P = 0.008) and 14 +/- 16% (P = 0.011) were registered at follow-ups of 1 month and 12 months, respectively. Postoperative complications included chronic intraocular inflammation and superior corectopia. CONCLUSIONS: Our procedure appears to be a safe, accurate, stable, and efficacious option for the management of traumatic subluxated cataracts in adults. However, longer-term data are needed to evaluate the corneal endothelium.
