Case in brief

A 73-year-old man with right intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation underwent flanged intrascleral IOL fixation using the double-needle technique with a 31-gauge needle. The IOL was successfully fixated, with smooth intraoperative handling, excellent postoperative outcomes, minimal refractive error, and no reported complications.

What made this case unusual

The case demonstrates use of a 31-gauge needle for flanged intrascleral IOL fixation; the authors note its larger inner diameter compared with a conventional 30-gauge thin-wall needle.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

A 31-gauge needle was used successfully for double-needle flanged intrascleral IOL fixation in this patient, with no reported complications.
