Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of using the adjustable flanged technique for secondary implantation of four-point scleral‑fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses with two parallel 6-0 polyglactin sutures. METHODS Two parallel 6-0 polyglactin sutures were passed separately through the two haptics on the horizontal line of the 4-haptic IOL. The four externalized sutures were then trimmed and cauterized to form flanges. The best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and complications in all patients were observed and recorded. RESULTS The flanged technique using two parallel 6-0 polyglactin sutures was applied to 14 aphakic eyes. The average preoperative best corrected visual acuity was 1.00 ± 0.88 LogMAR (Snellen 20/200), which improved to 0.42 ± 0.38 LogMAR (Snellen 20/48) at the final follow-up (P = 0.004). None of the patients experienced vitreous hemorrhage, low intraocular pressure, or issues with exposed or broken sutures. CONCLUSION The simplicity of the technique, along with its ability to accommodate adjustments post-implantation, allows for optimal positioning and reduces risks like IOL tilt or dislocation. Overall, this is a promising approach to secondary IOL implantation, with potential benefits for both patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the results of a novel surgical four-point transscleral suture fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) with four hollow haptics using the double-suture technique. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 eyes of 15 patients who underwent 4-point transscleral suture fixation of a foldable IOL using the double-suture technique. Preoperative data and follow-up data for at least 4 months were collected for all patients. RESULTS The IOLs were fixed and centered well. The mean preoperative corrected distance visual acuity was 0.70 ± 0.54 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/102), and it improved to 0.29 ± 0.26 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/39) at the final follow-up ( P = 0.001). No vitreous hemorrhage, hypotony, suture breakage, retinal detachment, IOL dislocation, and iris capture was detected during the follow-up period in any of the patients. CONCLUSION We have developed a novel technique for 4-point transscleral suture fixation of IOL using the double-suture technique with 9-0 polypropylene suture. This technique seemed to be safe and it may not require the surgeon to learn any new technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate a novel surgical technique (intraocular lens imbrication) for persistent postoperative pupillary capture after sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation. METHODS Case report and supplemental digital content demonstrating salient steps of a novel surgical technique. RESULTS The patient did not suffer any further episodes of pupillary capture after intraocular lens imbrication with aforementioned surgical technique five months after the procedure. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuities were 20/40 in both eyes. CONCLUSION Intraocular lens imbrication is an effective method to address persistent postoperative pupillary capture after sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the simplified technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOLs) in patients with aphakia or inadequate posterior capsule support. Methods: A review was conducted of 18 eyes of eighteen patients with the absence of-or inadequate-capsule support, after the simplified technique of using a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOLs) with stable four-point transscleral fixation, as performed by a skilled surgeon. This technique uses only a single suture and a knot to fix a PC IOL firmly without creating a scleral flap. The mean follow-up time was 18 ± 5.8 months (ranging from 12 to 24 months). Results: All patients exhibited improved visual acuity. No IOL tilt or dislocation or iris capture was observed, and all patients exhibited stable and centered IOL after surgery. No complex complications, such as suture shedding and exposure, corneal endothelial decompensation, persistent uveitis, or retinal detachment and endophthalmitis were observed. Conclusion: The simplified technique proposed here is a reliable, economical, and reproducible method of treating patients with aphakia or inadequate posterior capsule support. It provides excellent IOL stability, reduces surgical duration and complexity, and prevents certain complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE In cases of pupillary capture after previous transscleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL), an across-pupil suture technique is sometimes used to stabilize the IOL. We investigated the optical effects of 10-0 polypropylene sutures placed across the pupil. METHODS Optical performance was evaluated using the optical bench metrology system, and a single-piece IOL was used in an optical bench system consisting of a model eye, a high-resolution Hartmann-Shack wave front sensor, and an image capturing device with 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 4.5 mm apertures with distance focus. To simulate across-pupil sutures, two 10-0 polypropylene sutures were placed 2 mm apart across the pupil. The focus image, spherical aberration, and image quality were measured and compared with and without sutures. RESULTS When pupil size increased, spherical aberration increased, irrespective of sutures. No difference was found in spherical aberration with and without sutures, and image qualities at 17.6 and 35.2 cycles per degree were not affected by the across-pupil sutures. CONCLUSIONS The differences in optical quality using across-pupil 10-0 polypropylene sutures were clinically negligible.

PREVENTING PUPILLARY CAPTURE AFTER VITRECTOMY AND TRANSSCLERAL FIXATION OF AN INTRAOCULAR LENS: Iridotomy Using a Vitrectomy Probe. Retina 2017; 37:2112-2117.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of concurrent iridotomy using a vitreous cutter probe on the prevention of pupillary capture in patients undergoing transscleral fixation of intraocular lens implantation. METHODS A total of 79 eyes from 79 patients, who underwent transscleral fixation of intraocular lens without preexisting vitreoretinal disorders and who were followed up for 6 months were included. Subjects were divided into a noniridotomy group (51 eyes) and an iridotomy group (28 eyes). After conventional 23-gauge vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of intraocular lens implantation in all patients, 28 patients underwent concurrent iridotomy intraoperatively. The patients were followed up to evaluate the incidence of surgery-related complications, including pupillary capture. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative demographic findings between the two groups (all P > 0.05). There was a significant difference in pupillary capture in 15 eyes (29.4%) of the noniridotomy group, compared with 1 eye (3.6%) of the iridotomy group (P = 0.007). There were no differences in postoperative best-corrected visual acuity between the two groups, and no iridotomy-related complications were observed. CONCLUSION Concurrent iridotomy using a vitreous cutter probe is an easy, rapid, and effective procedure to prevent possible pupillary capture after combined vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of intraocular lens implantation.
