Operative photos of the modified technique for PCIOL fixation. a Three scleral pockets were made at marked positions. b A double-armed suture was tied to one haptic of the PCIOL by cow-hitch knot. c A hollow needle was passed through the scleral pocket bed into the eye to dock and guide out the suture needle coming from the superior corneal incision. d Another hollow needle was inserted into the eye at an adjacent point to dock and guide out the other needle of the previous double-armed suture. e Sutures were tied on every haptic of the PCIOL and guided out of the eye from their corresponding scleral pocket bed. f The PCIOL was folded and inserted through the superior incision. g The PCIOL position was set by adjusting tension of each suture knot. h Severe iris and pupil damage was repaired. i Scleral pockets and superior corneal incision were sutured
