          Abstract

          A new intrascleral fixation technique for a standard 3-piece posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) using a simple guide is described. To secure the haptics, 27-gauge scleral tunnels are created. Both haptics are secured extraocularly. The leading haptic of the PC IOL placed in the cartridge is released partly and introduced into the lumen of the guide. The PC IOL is inserted into the eye, and the leading haptic is externalized by pulling the guide gently through the 27-gauge sclerotomy site. The trailing haptic is externalized using the same procedure. This technique facilitates achieving minimally invasive sutureless intrascleral PC IOL fixation.
