title: Scleral fixation of a single-piece multifocal intraocular lens.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We describe an ab interno technique for injector implantation of a one-piece multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
  
  
  METHODS
  Transscleral fixation of multifocal posterior chamber IOL implantation using an injector with ab interno technique was performed in an eye of a 9-year-old girl who had undergone pars plana lensectomy 2 years before for bilateral lens subluxation with unknown etiology.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No major complications were encountered during a 3-month follow-up of the patient and excellent centration was observed during the follow-up period. Her preoperative best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity of 20/32 improved to uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Closed-loop design of IOL served the function of eyelets and position of the IOL was provided using only a 2-point fixation. Intraoperative position adjustment of the IOL provided an excellent centralization of multifocal IOL.
