[Sulcus fixation of an intraocular lens by means of haptic insertions in scleral tunnels: results at one year].
METHODS
We included seven eyes in which sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation was performed. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) and refraction changes were analyzed. There was a one year follow-up period.


CONCLUSIONS
Sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation is, in our experience, a safe technique that allows locating the IOL in the posterior chamber when no capsular support is present. Visual and refractive outcomes were satisfactory.
