Abstract
We present a novel technique for intraocular lens (IOL) fixation. The technique can be used on single-piece acrylic IOLs and can manage the patients who are either aphakia or with a dislocated IOL. One end of Gore-Tex suture is tied into the optic-haptic junction of the IOL. Another end is fixated in the scleral wall. The single sclerotomy and double sclerotomies settings can be applied to different situations. Twelve eyes received this procedure. After a follow-up period of up to 20 months, the IOLs were well centered. The technique is a reliable method for scleral fixation of IOLs, which can be applied on the widely used single-piece acrylic IOLs. In our experience, it is reproducible and rarely cause complications.
