The simply modified intrascleral fixation using round flange (SMURF) technique for intrascleral intraocular lens fixation

Abstract We describe a simply modified intrascleral fixation using round flange (SMURF) technique and report the clinical outcomes of the surgery. Forty-one eyes of 41 consecutive patients, with intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, crystalline lens subluxation, and zonular weakness, who underwent sur...
