Implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens can be difficult and risky in complicated cases such as a large tear in the posterior capsule, a cloudy cornea, or a small pupil. The author describes a technique for performing a safe implantation. The intraocular lens is supported by a suspension suture, which is threaded through a positioning hole or tied to the lens haptic. The suture is removed once a stable fixation is achieved.
