Yamane et  al.1 described the flanged double-needle technique for secured transscleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL). Effortless externalization of the trailing haptic is a concern, and various modifications have been described.2–5 The handshake technique to facilitate trailing haptic externalizati on has been described for a glued variant of the secondary IOL fixation method.6,7 Kusaka et al.8 described a riveting technique for iridodialysis repair in which the flanged and riveted ends of the suture hold the peripheral iris tissue in place.
