Abstract Purpose:Intraocular lens(IOL) iris capture following intrascleral fixation can lead to complications, including reverse pupillary block and elevated intraocular pressure(IOP) due to iris pigment dispersion, necessitating early intervention. This study introduces a novel IOL repositioning technique(star-shaped suturing method) using 9-0 polypropylene sutures and reports two illustrative cases.

Case 1:A 32-year-old man underwent scleral fixation for left-sided IOL subluxation. Postoperatively, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of IOL iris capture. Fifteen months postoperatively, the star-shaped suturing technique was performed. A 9-0 polypropylene suture was passed transconjunctivally, 2 mm from the limbus, into the ciliary sulcus and retrieved externally using a 27G needle. This process was repeated five times to create a star-shaped suture configuration. No recurrences of IOL iris capture, elevated IOP, or significant complications were observed at six months postoperatively.

Case 2:A 56-year-old man underwent IOL scleral fixation for right-sided IOL dislocation. Postoperatively, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of iris capture with elevated IOP 15 months after surgery. The star-shaped suturing method was performed. At six months postoperatively, no recurrences of iris capture were observed, and IOP was controlled within the normal range with a single antiglaucoma eye drop. No significant complications were observed in either case.

Conclusion:The star-shaped suturing technique may serve as an effective blocking technique for managing IOL iris capture following intrascleral fixation.
