Glued Intrascleral Haptic Fixation IOL

Abstract

Stable intraocular lens (IOL) placement can be a challenge in cases of postsurgical aphakia, subluxated cataract, ectopia lentis, traumatic subluxation, and decentered IOLs. Scleral fixation without sutures, employing a specially designed IOL, was first described in 1997. 1 However, it was not until 2007 that Scharioth published a technique that could be used for scleral fixation of routinely implanted 3-piece IOLs. 2 Amar Agarwal has popularized a technique of fibrin glue–assisted intrascleral haptic fixation. He first described this method in 2007, published it in 2008, 3–6 and more recently has edited a book on this technique. 7 I have personally used the glued IOL technique since 2009. During that time, I have used a small modification of this technique, which I would like to share.
