Abstract
We describe a method for ciliary sulcus fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) in the absence of an intact posterior capsule. This method, which combines a lens fixation procedure with trans pars plana vitrectomy techniques to ensure safe manipulation of the lens implant in the absence of an intact anterior hyaloid face, is ideally suited for retrieval and repositioning of PC-IOLs dislocated into the vitreous. It also permits closed system repositioning and fixation of the implant, thereby avoiding the complications of vitreous loss and the need for reopening the limbal incision.
