Long-term follow-up of needle-assisted retropupillary fixation of iris-claw intraocular lens

In a recent issue, Frisina et  al.1 decribed iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) fixation using a needle-guided retropupillary method. We have been using the same surgical technique for the past 3 years,A the only difference being the absence of the 30-gauge needle to engage the long straight needle. It has become our preferred pr ocedure for the correction of aphakia in eyes without capsule support because it is much easier to enclavate the iris-claw IOL to the posterior surface of the iris, when possible, compared with currently available scleral fixation techniques.
