Abstract
The authors present a technique of transscleral fixation of a posterio r chamber intraocular lens modified to permit a small-incision approac h by using a foldable silicone lens. This modification improved intrao perative globe stability and reduced operative time. This procedure al so has the potential for expediting postoperative recovery and visual rehabilitation.
