OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the outcome of last the 15 years' experience with the transscleral suture fixation technique of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL).

CONCLUSIONS
After bibliographic review of anterior chamber lenses implant results with transscleral fixation, we conclude that the number of complications is less in the iris fixation lens.
