We present the technique used in a patient with high myopia to obtain rotational stability of a plate-haptic multifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) (AT LISA tri toric 939MP). Both of the patient's eyes had long axial lengths and large capsular bags. The first operated eye experienced consecutive toric IOL malpositions. In the fellow eye, toric IOL alignment was preserved by implanting a type 2L Cionni capsular tension ring. This was reversely inserted so the two eyelets, which are positioned slightly anterior to the ring, pressed the IOL on the posterior capsule. This unsophisticated technical artifice provided rotational stability of the IOL, even at 12 months postoperatively.
