Cable tie technique for securing scleral fixation suture to intraocular lens.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a new flanged intrascleral fixation technique for subluxated or dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) with c-loop or double c-loop haptics (cable tie fixation method).

Observations

We introduced a cable tie fixation method using 6-0 polypropylene for subluxated multifocal IOL with C-loop or double C-loop haptics. After passing the 6-0 polypropylene monofilament under the optic-haptic junction, the other end of the strand was taken out of the eye after passing it above the optic-haptic junction. A knot was made at one end, and the opposite strand was passed through the knot to form a loop. Both ends of the monofilament were tugged to make the loop fixed to the optic-haptic junction smaller. Both ends of the monofilament were externalized 2.5 mm posterior to the
