title: A transcorneal modification for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses.
abstract: A simple transcorneal surgical modification for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses is described for use in cases in which posterior-capsule or zonular support are missing or unsafe. The technique allows a "closed" eye system to be maintained with minimal intraocular manipulation.
