We present a modified 4-point scleral fixation technique for posterior chamber IOL placement using PMMA IOL with 2 eyelets and 8-0 polypropylene as compared to previous studies that used foldable IOL with 4 eyelets and 10-0 polypropylene or Gore-Tex sutures. This procedure has moderate technical complexity, comparable to previously reported techniques with good overall clinical outcomes and several practical advantages, particularly related to the affordability and availability of the consumables.
