Purpose
To describe a new technique for lasso suturing dislocated intraocular lenses using 8.0 Gore-Tex suture and clinical outcomes.
Methods
retrospective analysis of 15 patients who had suture fixation using newly described 8-0 Gore-Tex suture fixation procedure. Inclusion criteria to include all patients with capsular bag/IOL subluxation who qualify for surgical correction. Intervention surgical procedure of Gore-Tex suture fixation. outcome measurements to include visual acuity, intraocular pressure, complications, cme rates and vitreous hemorrhage rates.

Conclusion
IOL haptic fixation using the 8-0 gore-tex threaded needle is a safe and effective surgical repair modality for the repair of the within the capsule bag dislocated intraocular lens
