In this clinical video, Dr. Shubham Malpani and colleagues demonstrate the sandwich tuck technique, a sutureless, flapless and glueless method for intrascleral fixation of an IOL. The basis of this approach is the use of “belt loop” tunnels that ensure complete intrascleral tucking of the externalized haptics with minimal risk of exposure, providing stability for the IOL. The technique is easily performed and can be achieved with minimal resources.
