A mirror needle holder has been designed to facilitate the passage of a needle through the ciliary sulcus during transscleral fixation of posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOLs). Two human postmortem eyes were used to demonstrate the efficacy of this mirror used as the needle holder. This method was compared with the current method of passing sutures without view of the ciliary sulcus. The mirror needle holder demonstrated precise passage of the needle into the ciliary sulcus by direct visualization of the ciliary processes and sulcus. This method may avoid the complications associated with transsclerally sutured PC IOLs during penetrating keratoplasty and secondary IOL placement.
