Purpose: To describe a flapless technique for two-point fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) with four fenestrated haptics.
Methods: A transconjunctival puncture of 1-mL syringe needle was used to guide the suture needle out of the eye. The suture was taken out of the eye through the corneal incision, passed through the pair of fenestrated haptics of the IOL and then securely tied with overhand knots. The folded IOL was implanted into the posterior chamber. The anchor knots were created by both ends of the thread approximately 4 mm to 5 mm apart from the transconjunctival puncture and was intrasclerally buried.
Results: The technique was used in 18 eyes (18 patients). The mean postoperative follow-up period was 17.22 ± 8.82 months. The IOLs of all the eyes remained well positioned and stable at the final follow-up. The visual acuities of all the eyes were improved postoperatively. No suture loosening, suture erosion, hypotony, scleral atrophy, chronic inflammation, retinal tears, and/or detachments were observed in any of the patients.
Conclusion: The present technique provides minimal trauma and reliable stability for the two-point transscleral fixation of four fenestrated haptics IOL.

A technique using the single-string, closed-loop fixation method to reposit dislocated triple-looped haptic intraocular lens (IOL)-capsular bag complex is described. The long needle or curved needle with a 10-0/8-0 polypropylene suture and a 27/30-gauge needle were used as the guide needle to pass through the fenestrated haptics twice. The scleral interlaminar course was used as the fixed point.

Purpose: To describe a flapless/grooveless technique for four-point refixation of a dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) with four fenestrated haptics.
Methods: An intraocular suture looping technique was performed with the assistance of two 27-gauge needles. A looping needle was passed into the eye through paracentesis and was used to loop both fenestrated haptics on the same side with an 8-0 polypropylene thread.

3D printed patient-specific vascular phantoms provide superior anatomical insights for simulating complex endovascular procedures. Currently, lack of exposure to the technology poses a barrier for adoption. We offer an accessible, low-cost guide to producing vascular anatomical models using routine CT angiography, open source software packages and a variety of 3D printing technologies.
