title: Intracapsular foldable posterior chamber lens implantation in eyes with posterior capsule tears or zonular fiber instability.
abstract: A surgical technique is described for foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in the capsular bag in the presence of a posterior capsule tear or weakened zonular fiber support. Haptics are compressed by suturing before endocapsular insertion, minimizing capsular and zonular fiber stress.
