Show Description +
Michael J. Siegel, MD, and Garry P. Condon, MD, present a simplified modification for mild in-the-bag subluxation that avoids conjunctival and scleral incisions while minimizing intraocular manipulation in five patients. While grasping the capsulorhexis edge with an intraocular forceps to stabilize the capsular bag and IOL complex, a 10-0 polypropylene suture on a long curved needle is used to secure the fibrotic superior capsulorhexis edge to mid-peripheral iris at 12 o'clock using a combination of a modified McCannel suture and Siepser sliding knot.
