Purpose Of Review:
To evaluate the outcome of last the 15 years' experience with the transscleral suture fixation technique of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL).
Recent Findings:
The implant of an anterior chamber IOL, especially the iris-claw lens, is safer and a better option than the transsclerally fixed IOL.
Summary:
After bibliographic review of anterior chamber lenses implant results with transscleral fixation, we conclude that the number of complications is less in the iris fixation lens.
