Capsular instability or the absence of intraocular lens (IOL) support can sometimes be repaired with a fixation suture, applied either during or after surgery. Either one or both haptics of the IOL can be inserted into the vitreous cavity even after fixation. There are many techniques for repairing complete IOL dislocation, including conventional IOL removal and fixation. However, few useful techniques exist for the repair of only one dislocated haptic. In this case report, we introduce a new technique for fixation of one dislocated haptic: needle-assisted fixation with a necktie knot.
