Purpose We describe a scleral suture fixation technique for dislocated plate haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Materials and methods A double-armed 10-0 straight polypropylene suture was passed into the eye from the sclera (2 mm away from the limbus). A suture needle was passed through the hole on the corner of the IOL and pulled out from the paracentesis with a 27-gauge needle. Afterward, the suture needle was reinserted from the same paracentesis and then removed from the eye with the help of a 27-gauge needle entering the eye from a nearby point to the first scleral entrance. The needle was passed through the end of the loop and pulled slightly to initiate the formation of a cow-hitch knot. The same procedure was applied to the other hole on the plate haptic. Both sutures were adjusted and fixed to the sclera with a Z suture. Results No complications were observed and at the follow-up visits, uncorrected visual acuity was 0.8 with decimal. Conclusion Axial, sagittal, and rotational stability rules are taken into consideration, scleral fixation surgery for a dislocated plate haptic foldable toric IOL is an alternative method to eliminate astigmatic refractive error.

It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM.
