Currently the one-piece PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) lens or a three-piece IOL are the best available options for IOL placement in the ciliary sulcus space. Single piece acrylic (SPA) IOLs are not designed for sulcus placement and there is growing evidence of chronic complications related to their use in the ciliary sulcus. Many of these eyes ultimately require surgical intervention, including lens exchange. Endoscopic imaging and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) have enabled a better understanding of ciliary sulcus anatomy and measurements in the living eye.Summary: When the capsular bag is compromised, IOL placement in the ciliary sulcus is a reasonable option. In these circumstances, appropriate choice of IOL, knowledge of the sulcus anatomy, and correct technique can improve results and reduce postoperative complications.Keywords: ciliary sulcus, capsule rupture, intraocular lens, complications, surgical techniqueMehta RAref AADove Medical Pressarticleciliary sulcuscapsule ruptureintraocular lenscomplicationssurgical techniqueOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2317-2323 (2019)
