Intravenous catheter-assisted scleral fixation of an intraocular lens in eyes without adequate capsular support.
OBJECTIVE
Sutureless scleral fixation is an effective technique for placement of a secondary intraocular lens. The authors propose a modification that may simplify intraoperative technical challenges.


METHODS
Description of surgical technique.


RESULTS
Successful placement of stable secondary intraocular lens.


CONCLUSIONS
This modified technique has the potential to reduce intraoperative complications. Studies including more patients with longer follow-up are needed to test the viability.
