Introduction:
Implantation of scleral fixation intraocular lens for the surgical management of aphakia cases without capsular support is a safe procedure.

Prospective study was carried out at Lumbini Eye Institute, Bhairahawa. A total of 32 patients underwent scleral fixation intraocular lens implantation within a period of two years from February 2014 to February 2016.
Results:
The age range was from 15 to 79 years; mean age was 47.56 ± 20.16 SD. Among them 14 (43.75%) were male and 18 (56.25%) were female. The follow-up lasted for 24 months.
