title: [Report of 25 eyes with transsclerally sutured posterior chamber IOLs].
abstract: 25 eyes with transsclerally sutured posterior chamber IOLs were followed up 2-18 months, averaging 6.5 months. Disregarding 4 amblyopic eyes, 19 (90.5%) of the remaining 21 eyes obtained satisfactory visual acuities of 0.5 or over. The technical procedures of the surgery and points of note were described, and the authors emphasized the use of fixation sutures of non-biodegradable materials like mersilene or prolene.
