Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital São João, Porto, Portugal.

We describe the cupid fixation technique, which allows safe repositioning of a subluxated intraocular lens (IOL). Under subconjunctival anesthesia, the body of the subluxated IOL is perforated with a 10-0 polypropylene suture on a straight needle. The IOL is then centered and fixated at the sclera overlying the ciliary sulcus; the knot is tied beneath a previously created limbal intrascleral pocket. No intraoperative complications occurred in 24 cases in which the technique was performed, and successful IOL centration was achieved.
