Abstract
Safely suturing a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) to the ciliary sulcus requires a means of visualizing the ciliary sulcus, since it cannot be viewed directly with the operating microscope. We, therefore, created several trial instruments consisting of a mirror with a built-in light source, which we call an endo-mirror, designed for observing the area behind the iris. Using these instruments, we were able satisfactorily to view the ciliary sulcus and suture a PC-IOL to it, first in a number of animal eyes, and then, using an endo-mirror incorporating the best features of the trial versions, in actual clinical cases.
