title: Transscleral suture technique for fixation of a dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lens.
abstract: We describe a double-loop-knot technique for repositioning a displaced posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) that facilitates placement of scleral fixation sutures around the haptic for IOL stabilization. The technique minimizes the intraocular manipulations necessary to create a suture loop around the haptic of a dislocated IOL as well as scleral incisions required for IOL exchange.
