biostudies-literatureUnknown64(2)Can E<h4>Aim of study</h4>To describe a simplified ab-interno cow-hitch suture fixation technique for repositioning decentered posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL).<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Two cases are presented with the surgical correction of decentered and subluxated IOL. Ab-interno scleral suture fixation technique with hitch-cow knot in the eye was performed with a ciliary sulcus guide instrument and 1 year follow-up was completed.<h4>Results</h4>Both of the patients had well centered lenses postoperatively. Corrected distant and near visual acuities of the patients were improved. There was no significant postoperative complication. In the follow-up period of 1 year, no evidence of suture erosion was found.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Ab-interno scleral suture loop fixation with hitch-cow knot in the eye was effective in repositioning decentered or subluxated PC IOLs with excellent postoperative centered lenses and visual outcomes.Indian journal of ophthalmology124-6https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4850806biostudies-literatureAb-interno scleral suture loop fixation with cow-hitch knot in posterior chamber intraocular lens decentration.PMC4850806Gul AOzturk HECan EKocak NYucel OESayin OfalseAb-interno scleral suture loop fixation with cow-hitch knot in posterior chamber intraocular lens decentration.<h4>Aim of study</h4>To describe a simplified ab-interno cow-hitch suture fixation technique for repositioning decentered posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL).<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Two cases are presented with the surgical correction of decentered and subluxated IOL.
