Abstract

Opacification of the posterior capsule and lack of intraocular lens fixation have been recurring problems and have resulted in a gradual shift from sulcus-fixated silicone lenses to bag-fixated silicone lenses. Postoperative capsular contraction, however, can cause capsular tearing in the periphery and intraocular lens decentration. A new method of combining a small circular capsulotomy, cataract removal without anterior capsular rim tearing, and meticulous bag placement of the silicone lens seems to allow centering and secure fixation of the silicone lens.
