27-Gauge trocar-assisted sutureless intraocular lens fixation procedure. All procedures were performed by the 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy system including a three-port trocar cannula system. Infusion cannula was used for all cases. a, b: The 27-gauge trocar was used to form 3-mm scleral tunnels 2 mm from the corneal limbus at the 4 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions. c: The IOL was inserted into the anterior chamber using an injector. d: The trailing haptic was held outside to prevent the IOL from falling into the vitreous cavity. e: A 23-gauge sideport forceps was used to grasp the trailing haptic, and then 27-gauge retinal forceps were inserted into the anterior chamber through the 27-gauge trocar to grasp the haptic end. f: The 27-gauge trocar was first pulled back, and then the 27-gauge retinal forceps grasped and pulled the trailing haptic through the scleral tunnel. g: The haptic end was used to form a flange with an ophthalmic cautery device. The flange was then pushed into the scleral tunnel. (h, i, j): The same procedures as in e, f and g were performed on the opposite side
