title: Scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens implants combined with vitrectomy.
abstract: Selected patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy may be ideal candidates for scleral-fixated lenses. We present our current technique for implanting such lenses, a technique designed to avoid the problems of suture exposure, lens rotation, and infection.
