any risk of suture exposure with this technique. it will be difficult to rotate the sutures with this tech of SF IOL

Also we can fixate it with 9/0 prolene as its biodegradability takes longer time than 10/0 but it is not available in Egypt

Beautiful surgery Ayman. Well done!

Great technique Dr. Shouman, but I think the intrascleral fixation is better in the long term as to avoid possible IOL luxation in the future 5-10 years
