The authors describe a simplified and safer technique for surgical removal of hereditary or idiopathic soft subluxated lenses. Five eyes of three patients underwent intercapsular aspiration of the lens material. A side-port cannula was introduced through the pars plicata while the eyes were pressurized by an anterior chamber maintainer. This was followed by anterior vitrectomy and capsulectomy. With this technique, the risk of vitreous loss, which can occur with an anterior approach, and the risk of the spread of lens particles into the vitreous, which can occur with a lensectomy with a vitrectomy probe, are avoided. Postoperatively, optical correction was achieved with a contact lens in the two children and with an anterior chamber intraocular lens in the adult. Final visual acuity was 6/9 or better in all eyes. No surgical or other complication occurred during 2 to 4 years of follow-up. A soft subluxated lens can be removed without the risks of vitreous loss or spread of lens particles into the vitreous, reducing the probability of severe complications.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to assess the outcome of Gore-Tex sutures in minimally invasive scleral fixation of subluxated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOLs) and to demonstrate a method for validating the lens position.
Methods: Retrospective study of patients who underwent lasso in-the-bag scleral fixation of a subluxated PCIOL using the snare technique with Gore-Tex suture from 2019 to 2021 in a single tertiary medical center. Functional outcome was analyzed by clinical assessment, and anatomical outcome, by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Transcapsular scleral fixation of the standard capsular tension ring and in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation for severely subluxated lenses.

Aim: To present a technique of transcapsular scleral fixation of the standard capsular tension ring (CTR) through equatorial capsulotomy and in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in subluxated lenses.
Methods: This retrospective consecutive case series included patients with subluxated lenses by more than 180 degrees who underwent lens extraction, transcapsular scleral fixation of the standard CTR through equatorial capsulotomy, in-the-bag IOL implantation and with at least 6mo follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), complications, and postoperative IOL tilt and decentration were recorded.
Simple ab externo lens capsule removal in intraocular lens reuse and intrascleral fixation for intracapsular lens dislocation: A case report.

Department of Ophthalmology, Saitama Red Cross Hospital, Saitama, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to report and recall a simple method to remove the lens capsule ab externo when performing intrascleral fixation of an intracapsular intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation with reuse of the IOL.
Case Presentation: A 43-year-old Japanese male patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification, and IOL fixation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the right eye 10 years prior. A 3-piece IOL was intraocularly fixed during the initial procedure.
OUTCOMES IN EYES WITH RETAINED LENS FRAGMENTS UNDERGOING PARS PLANA LENSECTOMY AND SCLERAL-FIXATED INTRAOCULAR LENS INSERTION.

Mid Atlantic Retina, The Retina Service of Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Purpose: To report the visual outcomes and complications in eyes with retained lens fragments following cataract surgery undergoing pars plana lensectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) insertion.
Methods: Patients with retained lens fragments who underwent pars plana vitrectomy, pars plana lensectomy, and SFIOL insertion from January 2015 to December 2022 were included. The visual acuity outcomes and complication rates were compared between those receiving sutured versus sutureless SFIOL insertion as well as those undergoing SFIOL insertion at the time of pars plana vitrectomy and pars plana lensectomy versus those undergoing SFIOL insertion during subsequent surgery.
Safety and efficacy of the Yamane technique for intraocular three-piece lens implantation in Egyptian patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome: a retrospective study.

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Beni Suef University, Beni Suef, Egypt.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Yamane technique (flanged intrascleral haptic fixation with double-needle technique /FIHFT) for three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in Egyptian patients diagnosed with Marfan syndrome (MFS) presented with subluxated lenses (ectopia lentis, EL).
Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with MFS and had subluxated lenses in a total of forty eyes. Seven of these patients had bilateral subluxation.
