Abstract
We describe a technique for suture-guided sulcus implantation of a foldable acrylic posterior chamber IOL (PC IOL). A 10-0 monofilament nylon suture is used to control insertion of the PC IOL over the ciliary sulcus and enable safe retrieval if the PC IOL drops during insertion, stabilization, or centration. In this technique, the 10-0 monofilament nylon suture acts as a guy rope to hold onto the PC IOL, enabling the surgeon to inject the IOL into the sulcus, unfold it in the iris plane, dial it in the appropriate meridian, and stabilize it.
