“…Fibrin glue has been successfully used to treat various ocular conditions. [24][25][26][27] Gabor and Pavilidis 28 describe sutureless scleral IOL fixation in which the IOL haptic is placed in a scleral tunnel. Our technique differs from other sutureless methods 28,29 in the use of the fibrin glue, which enhances the rate of adhesion with hemostasis, and in the use of the available IOL design.…”

We report a new surgical technique that uses biological glue to implant a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) in eyes with a deficient or absent posterior capsule. Two partial-thickness limbal-based scleral flaps are made 180 degrees apart diagonally, and the haptics of the PC IOL are externalized to place them beneath the flaps. Fibrin glue is used to attach the haptics to the scleral bed, beneath the flap. This simple method of PC IOL implantation requires no specially designed haptics. It provides good flap closure and IOL centration and stability without suture-related complications.

“…Fibrin glue has been used in numerous studies for sealing cataract wounds [124][125][126][127][128][129]. Fibrin glue has also been used to assist in posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in eyes with capsular support deficiency with good visual acuity outcome and no postoperative complications [130,131].…”

“…McDonnell et al 2 suggest that even well-constructed clear corneal wounds are prone to allow anterior chamber fluid egress and ingress of ocular surface contaminants. Other studies suggest that fibrin tissue adhesive may be a useful sealant in scleral tunnel 3,4 and clear corneal cataract surgery 5 but that fibrin adhesive carries some risks inherent in pooled donor plasma.…”
