A new intrascleral fixation technique for a standard 3-piece posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) using a simple guide is described. To secure the haptics, 27-gauge scleral tunnels are created. Both haptics are secured extraocularly. The leading haptic of the PC IOL placed in the cartridge is released partly and introduced into the lumen of the guide. The PC IOL is inserted into the eye, and the leading haptic is externalized by pulling the guide gently through the 27-gauge sclerotomy site. The trailing haptic is externalized using the same procedure. This technique facilitates achieving minimally invasive sutureless intrascleral PC IOL fixation.

Purpose: The light adjustable lens (LAL) (RxSight, Aliso Viejo, CA) is a premium intraocular lens that allows for correction of residual refractive error and astigmatism following implantation. Herein, we describe the surgical approach and evaluate the visual outcomes of patients following scleral fixation of the LAL.
Methods: Retrospective, single-surgeon surgical case series of 3 patients (3 eyes) with intraocular lens complications, who underwent combined pars plana vitrectomy and sutureless needle assisted intrascleral haptic fixation of the LAL between April 2022, to August 2023.

Over the past two decades, both suture and sutureless techniques for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses have seen significant advancement, driven by improvements in methodologies and instrumentation. Despite numerous reports demonstrating the effectiveness, safety, and superiority of these techniques, each approach carries with it its own drawbacks, including an elevated risk of certain postoperative complications. This article delves into various surgical techniques for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses, discussing their procedural nuances, benefits, drawbacks, postoperative complications, and outcomes.

Purpose Of Review: To describe recent evidence regarding surgical techniques for secondary scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs), with attention to information most relevant to the surgical practice of vitreoretinal surgeons.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in patients treated with scleral fixation of IOLs using Gore-Tex suture and flanged intrascleral haptic fixation (ISHF). ISHF can be achieved using trocar-cannulas or double needle-based techniques.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis elucidates the postoperative complication rates associated with 3 major surgical approaches, including the scleral tunnel, glued, and flanged techniques, for sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation. An online search was performed for articles published in PubMed and EMBASE between January 1, 1975, and January 7, 2023. Original studies reporting postoperative complications of sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation were included.

Purpose: To report the visual and refractive outcomes of trocar-assisted sutureless intrascleral three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) fixation, and to compare the accuracy of different IOL power formulas in this setting.
Methods: Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent trocar-assisted sutureless three-piece IOL scleral fixation were included. Two trocar-cannula systems were placed at 3 and 9 o'clock position creating 2.
