ABSTRACT
This new technique was done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary implantation of a scleral fixation injectable silicone IOL. A 70-year-old man underwent uncomplicated intracapsular cataract extraction OS in 1978. He complained of contact lens intolerance and a scleral fixation IOL was implanted, safety and efficacy regarding UCVA, BCVA and induced astigmatism was observed. The results revealed that the patient had UCVA of 20/100 at one month and 20/50 at six months and there was a mild insignificant change in astigmatism. The study concluded that scleral fixation injectable IOL is a safe and effective measure in treating aphakia
