Özet

technique is described in which a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in eyes with partial loss of posterior capsule or zonular support. The IOL's inferior haptic is placed over the residual capsule and the superior haptic is fixated to the ciliary sulcus with a polypropylene suture. In 17 eyes that had surgery using this technique, mean postoperative visual acuity was 20/25; complications included irregular pupil, iris capture, pupil block, hyphema, localized peripheral anterior synechia, IOL tilt, suture exposure, and cystoid macular edema.
