Various techniques for scleral fixation of IOL in cases of poor capsular support have been described in past. Sutured scleral fixation of IOLs has been attempted for single piece and toric IOLs also. But this predisposes to various suture releated complications. Sutureless fixation of three piece IOLs with or without glue has gained popularity worldwide.
