title: Sutured sulcus fixation of an anteriorly dislocated endocapsular intraocular lens.
abstract: Endocapsular intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation can be a challenge for the anterior segment surgeon. We describe a novel surgical strategy for repositioning an anteriorly dislocated endocapsular IOL by suturing it to the ciliary sulcus using an anterior segment approach in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
