Scleral fixation of iris-Intraocular lens complex (Reper®) with Canabrava double-flanged technique: a case report

ABSTRACT A 38-year-old patient who developed aphakia and aniridia secondary to trauma suffered from vision loss. To improve her vision, an iris-intraocular lens complex (Reper®) was fixed to the sclera with Canabrava’s double-flanged technique. There was a satisfactory increase in the patient’s visual acuity and no complications were observed during the 6-months follow-up. Canabrava technique simplifies and improves the fixation of the iris-intraocular lens complex to the sclera. It is a safe option that does not require scleral flaps or knots.
