Six-point scleral fixation of a three-looped haptics one-piece posterior chamber intraocular lens by a single suture.

To evaluate a novel technique for six-point scleral fixation of a three-looped haptics posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) by a single suture. Nine eyes of nine patients were studied from September 2021 to March 2023. All patients had undergone vitrectomy. Only a single 9-0 polypropylene suture was used for scleral fixation. The three looped haptics were fixed at 12, 4, and 8 o'clock with six-point scleral fixation. The entire procedure took about 30 min. Among the nine patients, eight (88.8%) eyes had a significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity, whereas one (11.2%) eye showed no change. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. By ultrasonic biomicroscopy examination, intraocular lenses were well positioned and stable with no tilt in the horizontal and vertical axis. The method of six-point scleral fixation of a three-looped haptics PCIOL by a single suture is safe and effective.
