Transscleral fixation of single-piece hydrophilic acrylic lenses with no eyelets

Scleral fixation ofsulcus intraocular lenses is performed by most surgeons to correct aphakia in eyes with insufficient capsular support in which intraocular lenses cannot be implanted into the bag or sulcus. The implantation of foldable lenses maintains the advantages of small incision surgery, working with a closed system, less astigmatism, faster wound healing, and early visual rehabilitation. The authors describe a technique for using a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic lens with no eyelets for scleral fixation.
