title: Intracapsular fixation of extracapsular pseudophakia.
abstract: A modification of the fixation of the Binkhorst iridocapsular lens is described. The elastic force of the anterior capsule is used in order to gain a stable, safe and central position of the two-loop iridocapsular lens in combination with an extracapsular cataract extraction. Miotic therapy is not necessary if one uses the described method.
