Determination of haptic position of transsclerally fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses by ultrasound biomicroscopy

Transscleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses has become an increasingly popular procedure in eyes lacking adequate posterior capsular support. The assumption is generally made that these lenses are fixated in the ciliary sulcus. To test this assumption, 17 cases with transsclerally fixated posterior chamber intraocular lenses were examined with ultrasound biomicroscopy, a new method of producing subsurface images in living eyes …
