Schematic procedures of modified technique for PCIOL fixation. a Three 3-mm wide limbus-parallel half-thickness corneal incisions were made at the limbus. b Three 3 × 2 mm scleral pockets were dissected. A 3.5-mm wide superior corneal incision was made. c A double-armed suture was tied to one haptic of the PCIOL, and one of its needle suture was passed through the superior corneal incision and guided out of the eye from scleral pockets by a docking hollow needle. d The other needle suture was passed through the superior corneal incision and guided out at an adjacent position in the same way. e Sutures were tied on every haptic of the PCIOL and guided out of the eye from their corresponding scleral pocket beds. f The PCIOL position was set by adjusting tension of each suture knot
