A challenge of the sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) technique is to perform blind actions behind the iris. To avoid imprecise transscleral sutures and complications, we use an endoscopic procedure with 2 goals: to control the entry site of the needle penetration and of the haptic location. The endoscopic technique allows retroiris control during transscleral suturing and iridociliary IOL implantation. It is a safe, precise method that avoids the risks of blind procedures behind the iris.
