Visual outcomes of lens subluxation surgery with Cionni modified capsular tension rings in Marfan syndrome
Abstract Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary disease with an incidence of 0.3% in the general population. Approximately 60% of MFS patients with FBN1 gene mutation will suffer ectopia lentis (EL) from the age of 3. With the development of EL, severe loss of vision will accrue because of lens tilt...

| Sumario: | Abstract Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary disease with an incidence of 0.3% in the general population. Approximately 60% of MFS patients with FBN1 gene mutation will suffer ectopia lentis (EL) from the age of 3. With the development of EL, severe loss of vision will accrue because of lens tilt and glaucoma. Cionni modified capsular tension rings (MCTR) has been applied in the surgery for EL in MFS patients. To evaluate visual acuity and safety of using MCTR during lens subluxation surgery in MFS patients, 66 MFS patients (110 eyes) were included in our study, with the mean duration of follow-up of 4.7 months (SD 1.76 months). The capsular bags were preserved in 101 eyes (91.81%) with MCTR implantation. There was an overall significant improvement in BCVA at 1-month follow-up which was maintained at 3 months. Multivariable linear regression revealed that older age at first visit was associated with greater postoperative BCVA at the 1-month follow-up (P = 0.007). A significant difference was found between different degrees of lens subluxation and the length of surgical time and complications. At follow-up, only two eyes (1.98%) were identified to have developed retinal detachments. In conclusion, better visual outcomes can be achieved when patients received an early operation with MCTR implantation. |
