Abstract

BACKGROUND AND 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. STUDY DESIGN: Description of surgical technique. RESULTS: Successful placement of stable secondary intraocular lens. CONCLUSION: This modified technique has the potential to reduce intraoperative complications. Studies including more patients with longer follow-up are needed to test the viability.
