[Personal experience with scleral fixation in posterior chamber intraocular lenses]

The authors give an account of their experience with scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses by a stitch into the ciliary sulcus. The fixation was made in two patients as a secondary implantation, in eight patients on account of rupture of the posterior lenticular capsule during extracapsular extraction of cataract and in two instances after a perforating injury of the eye and anterior vitrectomy. In two instances a subluxated cataract was involved.
