Sir, We read the article[1] in May 2017 edition of your reputed journal. We have been employing the “scleral tuck technique” described by the authors in the past to fixate intraocular lens (IOL) to sclera in the absence of capsular support. However, we encountered that, out of six eyes where we employed this technique, in one eye, haptic on one side got dislodged within few days of the surgery, which we had to refixate using glue. We presumed that, in the absence of glue (which is used in “scleral flap technique” and not in “scleral tuck technique”), simply tucking the haptic may not be adequately secure in early postoperative period.
