To describe a modified surgical technique for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses and capsular devices using a corneoscleral pocket that avoids conjunctival dissection.
Creation of a scleral pocket initiated through a peripheral clear corneal incision.
Full-thickness passage of a double-armed suture through the scleral pocket and conjunctiva.
Retrieval of suture ends through the external corneal incision for knot tying and concealment beneath the scleral pocket.
Elimination of the need for conjunctival dissection, scleral cauterization, and sutured wound closure.
Provision of an increased surface area for suture placement via either an ab externo or ab interno approach.
Concealment of the tied suture knot beneath the roof of the scleral pocket, eliminating the need for suture knot rotation.
