  2. 62 yo white male with a decentered ReZoom IOL OS causing decreased vision • Original surgery was 2 months earlier and was complicated by a capsule tear necessitating sulcus placement. • Original post-op vision was 20/20 with a well centered IOL. The vision decreased to 20/40 with poor multifocal function as the lens de-centered nasally. • Surgical intervention was necessary to center the IOL with suturing.

  3. Surgical Technique • Peribulbar anesthesia was utilized. • After conjunctival dissection, a posterior limbalscleral corneal incision was made temporally.

  4. Surgical Technique • Viscoelastic (Amvisc Plus/Bausch&Laumb) was placed anterior and posterior to the IOL. • The first arm of a double armed 10-0 Prolene suture on a spatula straight needle (Ethicon 1713G) was passed 3mm posterior to the limbus into the anterior chamber.

  5. Surgical Technique • The first arm of the double armed suture exiting through clear cornea.

  6. Surgical Technique • The second arm entering the eye 1mm from the first suture.

  7. Surgical Technique • The second arm exiting through clear cornea.

  8. Surgical Technique • After the needles were cut off, a Sinskey hook was used to bring the sutures out of the eye through the scleral corneal incision.

  9. Surgical Technique • After bringing the temporal haptic out of the eye using the Sinsky hook, the two cut sutures are tied to the haptic.

  10. Surgical Technique • The knot ends are trimmed and the haptic is placed back in the sulcus

  11. Surgical Technique • The distal end of the suture is now cut and a single knot is gently fastened to bring the temporal haptic to the sclera and center the IOL. • After the IOL is centered the knot is completed and the ends are trimmed to 1mm in length.

  12. Result • Centered IOL • Post surgery the IOL maintains its centered position and the vision returns to 20/20- with good multifocal function.
