Correct positioning of transscleral haptics for sulcus fixation of IOL haptics may be difficult due to lack of visual control by the surgeon. We determined the haptic sites in eyes which underwent secondary IOL implantation with transscleral suturing using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) (Humphrey Instruments, Inc., San Leandro, CA, USA). Eighteen eyes of 17 patients were included in the study. The follow-up time ranged from 1 to 36 months (mean: 7 months). The positions of 36 IOL-haptics were documented by UBM examination. Twelve haptics (33%) were found in the sulcus, whereas 18 haptics (50%) were located posteriorly to the sulcus. Six haptics (17%) were identified anteriorly to the sulcus. There were no complications resulting from dislocation. In one of the eyes, suture infection occurred requiring surgical revision and antibiotic therapy.

Intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is not an uncommon complication and often requires surgical intervention, depending on the status of capsular bag support. Conventionally, posterior dislocation of a foldable IOL or the IOL-bag complex warrants their removal as foldable IOLs are not ideal for sulcus placement. The technique presented here describes using quadrilateral sutures to refix looped haptic IOLs at the ciliary sulcus with or without a bag complex.

The present study aimed to describe the cortical connectivity of a sector located in the ventral bank of the superior temporal sulcus in the macaque (intermediate area TEa and TEm [TEa/m]), which appears to represent the major source of output of the ventral visual stream outside the temporal lobe. The retrograde tracer wheat germ agglutinin was injected in the intermediate TEa/m in four macaque monkeys. The results showed that 58-78% of labeled cells were located within ventral visual stream areas other than the TE complex.
