Tiltless and centration adjustable scleral-sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens.

UNLABELLED: We present a technique for posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) scleral suturing for the management of aphakia, which includes the use of a needleless Gore-Tex CV-8 suture to create a girth hitch around both IOL fixation eyelets using microinstruments. This technique avoids intraocular needle manipulation, provides long-term IOL stability, avoids both passive and torque-induced IOL tilt, and enables fine tuning of the intraoperative IOL centration using the Purkinje reflexes.
