title: Sutureless ciliary sulcus supported intraocular lens with transiridal anchoring haptics.
abstract: We report a technique for implanting intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the ciliary sulcus in eyes without capsule support. The IOL design allows it to be implanted without fixation sutures. The lens was implanted in 3 aphakic eyes without capsule support.
