Abstract
To review current, effective and more popular techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lens (IOLs) and IOL-capsular bag complex. Scleral fixation of IOLs became popular, originally with sutured scleral fixated IOLs and later the Scharioth technique of intrascleral haptic fixation. This was further developed as the Glued IOL technique which enjoys widespread adoption all over the world. Recently the Yamane technique has also become popular and is being widely adopted as well. Scleral fixated IOLs have evolved in the last 2 decades with technical modifications, extended indications and improvised instrumentation. Though sutured and sutureless techniques have been growing equally, the sutureless scleral fixation techniques have attracted special interest. Reduced suture-related complications, technical ease and high-quality functional outcomes may be possible reasons. Sutureless capsular bag fixation also has distinct advantages.
