Scleral fixation of a subluxated posterior chamber intraocular lens.
A surgical technique for the treatment of a subluxated intraocular lens is described. It consists of a scleral incision 2 mm from the limbus, hooking the loop haptic of the implant into the scleral wound, and imbricating the loop into the sclera for permanent fixation. Four eyes in which this technique was applied successfully are reported.
