Abstract

This is a simplified approach of scleral fixation of anteriorly dislocated IOL-bag complex. We are presenting three cases of scleral fixation of anteriorly dislocated IOL-bag complex. A scleral flap/groove is made along the area of haptic dislocation. Dislocated haptic is allowed to stay in the same position and one arm of 9-0 prolene suture is passed between the optic-haptic junction and docked in 26 G needle passed beneath the scleral flap, 2 mm from the limbus. Haptic is then repositioned beneath the iris and the second arm of prolene suture is passed above the haptic. Sutures are pulled underneath the scleral flap and secured with 5 to 6 knots. This novice technique gives better visualization of the optic-haptic junction during the passage of prolene suture.
