Abstract

Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cases with intraoperative complications (posterior capsular rent or zonular dehiscence) is quite challenging. Our next course of action is to place the IOL in the ciliary sulcus, however, there is a risk of IOL drop into the vitreous in cases of inadequate support. We have described a novel idea of using a suture material through the dialling hole of a three-piece rigid IOL which can be used as a leash to reduce the risk of IOL drop during implantation in such cases. This technique could also be used during sutureless scleral fixated intraocular lens and retro-pupillary iris claw lens implantation.
