Purpose   To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the following three distinct surgical procedures for secondary IOL implantation without capsular support: Iris-claw lens, flanged transscleral fixated IOLs (Yamane technique), and sutureless transscleral hook IOL fixation (Carlevale IOL).Materials and Methods   In this retrospective comparative study, three different sutureless IOL implantation techniques were compared in patients without any capsular support. Visual acuity and outcomes were analyzed in 24 eyes of 23 patients (14 male and 9 female). Study included 13 iris-claw lenses (Artisan Ophtec), 6 flanged transscleral fixated IOLs (Yamane technique using a MA60MA Alcon Inc IOL), and 5 transscleral Carlevale IOLS (Carlevale IOL, Soleko, Italy).Results   logMAR mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.49 ± 0.19 to 0.19 ± 0.10 at three months after surgery ( p  < 0.05). Postoperative BCVA was similar in all three groups, and no intergroup difference was noted. Three eyes (12.5%) had a raised IOP >25 mmHg, 2 eyes (8%) presented a subluxated/dislocated IOL, 4 eyes (16%) had corneal edema longer than 7 days, 3 eyes (12.5%) had irregular pupil profile, 2 eyes (8%) had vitreous hemorrhage, 7 eyes had (29%) corneal astigmatism over 3 diopters, and one patient (4%) developed cystoid macular edema (CME).Conclusions   All three surgical procedures can be considered adequate to correct aphakia in patients without capsular support with significant improvement in visual acuity and low complication.
