Use of Yamane technique for secondary intraocular lens implantation following open globe injury.
BMJ Case Reports 2023 November 22
A woman in her 50s presented with suspected open globe injury (OGI) of the right eye after being hit with a high velocity piece of plastic. Visual acuity at the time of presentation was counting fingers in the affected eye. Slit lamp examination revealed a full thickness laceration of the cornea and a traumatic cataract. Primary corneal repair was performed and the patient was left aphakic after cataract removal. Secondary intraocular lens placement was deferred for 2 years, after which time a scleral-fixated intraocular lens was implanted using the Yamane technique. Postoperative visual acuity of 20/50 was achieved, with the vision limited by persistent diabetic macular oedema. Thus, this case of successful implantation of a secondary lens using the Yamane technique in a patient with prior corneal laceration and traumatic cataract highlights that the Yamane technique can result in visual improvement in patients with prior OGI.
