Purpose: To describe a simple and least invasive surgical method of transscleral fixation of a dislocated single-piece AcrySof® toric intraocular lens (IOL).
Case summary: A 62-year-old male was referred with dislocated toric IOL (SN6AT4, AcrySof® IQ Toric; Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA) in his right eye after an uneventful cataract surgery. Scleral fixation using the toric IOL was performed by placing the suture knot at the optic-haptic junction right beside the toric axis markings which easily achieved the desired positioning of the axis. The preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/400 and it improved to 20/60 at 1 week after repositioning of the IOL and the IOL was well-centered with its toric alignment within 5 degrees of the intended axis.
Conclusions: Transscleral fixation of single-piece AcrySof toric IOLs is easy to learn technique, which reduces surgical time with minimal manipulation and enables IOL stability with good postoperative toric axis alignment.
