title: A small-incision technique for suturing a posterior chamber intraocular lens.
abstract: The authors present a technique of transscleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens modified to permit a small-incision approach by using a foldable silicone lens. This modification improved intraoperative globe stability and reduced operative time. This procedure also has the potential for expediting postoperative recovery and visual rehabilitation.
