ABSTRACT We report a new surgical technique of transscleral-intracorneal (TS-IC) suture fixation of intraocular lenses with suture ends located within the transparent corneal or corneal-limbal paracentesis. This novel technique significantly reduces scleral and conjunctival trauma, is minimally-invasive, simple to perform, is not associated with complicated intraocular surgical maneuvers and precludes suture knot, flange and suture end erosion.The internal part of the corneal stroma or corneal-limbal area serves as a secure depot for suture end fixation with durable resistance. The technique enables visualization of the exact position of suture ends over time.
