Abstract
We present a challenging case of a 60-year-old female who underwent cataract surgery in the right eye (RE) 10 years back. On presentation, visual acuity in RE with aphakic correction was 6/18, and the patient had a superior corneal scar with iris incarceration. Fundus examination revealed an attached retina and healthy optic nerve head with two dislocated rigid intraocular lenses (IOLs). The patient underwent vitrectomy with temporal scleral tunnel for explanting the IOLs. The same tunnel was used for scleral fixation of IOL whose haptics were buried into two opposite-facing scleral partial thickness scleral tunnels made at 12 and 6 o’clock. Thus, we describe a newer technique of sutureless scleral fixated IOL where scleral pockets are used for fixating three-piece IOL without the use of any suture, glue, or specialized IOL.
