Abstrakt: We present our results of transcleral ciliary sulcus fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens implants (IOL) in IOL exchange cases, secondary implants, and complicated cataract extractions. Follow-up data are presented on a total of 19 patients. The technique is facilitated by using a long needle attaching 10-0 prolene suture to both haptics of an all polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) posterior chamber intraocular lens implant (PCL). Our early results show that the procedure is safe and predictable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
