Long-term Safety and Functional Outcome of Combined Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Scleral-Fixated Sutured Posterior Chamber Lens Implantation

The surgical procedures were performed safely in approximately 94% of patients. Most postoperative complications were minor: significant ones occurred in approximately 20%, whereas suture breaks were observed rarely. The only moderate long-term functional improvement in this case series was mainly determined by the underlying ocular pathologic features.
