Sulcus fixation of posterior chamber lenses by transscleral sutures.
Sulcus fixation of posterior chamber lenses by transscleral sutures was performed in 23 cases. We used new techniques to be sure that the sulcus was pierced accurately and the suture was placed in the posterior chamber instead of the ruptured capsule. This paper describes these techniques and the clinical results of 23 cases.
