Purpose: To evaluate the refractive outcomes of the new Carlevale foldable sutureless scleral fixation intraocular lens (SSF-IOL) (Soleko in eyes without capsular support.

Methods: This retrospective, single-center, noncomparative interventional case series included 25 consecutive eyes of 25 consecutive patients with either aphakia or lens/IOL dislocation due to capsular or zonular defects. The Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulas, which do not need measurements of the anterior chamber depth to predict the IOL position, were used to calculate the IOL power.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes and possible complications of a new foldable sutureless scleral fixation intraocular lens (SSF-IOL), the Carlevale IOL (Soleko).

Methods: The SSF-IOL, which has two T-shaped self-blocking plugs on each haptic, was inserted into the posterior chamber. Both haptics was grabbed through two sclerotomies and the two short arms were blocked under the scleral flap, without any suture.

Purpose: To report a retrospective series of patients implanted with a novel hydrophilic acrylic single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) designed for sutureless scleral fixation (FIL-SSF Carlevale lens, Soleko, Italy) injectable through a 2.2-mm incision.

Methods: Seventy-eight patients with minimum 6-month follow-up were divided into 6 groups: dropped nucleus, luxated IOL, trauma, aphakia, IOL exchange, and Marfan's syndrome.
