Abstract

Purpose: To describe a technique to reduce intraocular lens (IOL) tilt after sutureless intrascleral (SIS) fixation. Methods: Case report with review of surgical technique. Results: We report a technique that can be used to correct IOL tilt that may rarely accompany SIS IOL fixation. The procedure involves placing pupil-spanning polypropylene sutures on either side of the IOL optic to keep the optic parallel to the plane of the iris. Conclusion: Sutureless intrascleral IOL tilt correction can be achieved using polypropylene suture, thus obviating the need for more invasive surgical maneuvers, such as IOL exchange.
