Abstract:
A technique using the single-string, closed-loop fixation method to reposit dislocated triple-looped haptic intraocular lens (IOL)–capsular bag complex is described. The long needle or curved needle with a 10-0/8-0 polypropylene suture and a 27/30-gauge needle were used as the guide needle to pass through the fenestrated haptics twice. The scleral interlaminar course was used as the fixed point. Last, a fixation knot was created in the sclerotomy by the 2 ends of the thread to close the suture loop for IOL fixation. Another knot was created about 2 to 3 mm from the exit point and was intrasclerally anchored by the aid of the attached needle. 4 eyes from 4 consecutive patients were studied retrospectively; during all follow-up visits, the IOLs were well centered and stable, and no suture erosion, hypotony, scleral atrophy, chronic inflammation, retinal tears, and/or detachments were observed.
