Recently, sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SSF-IOL) techniques have become popular in clinical practice [1]. These methods are newer and have been developed to eliminate the suture-related complications of sutured scleral fixation methods [2-5]. These methods base on fixation of the IOL haptics within the sclera. The stability of IOLs is provided by the scar tissue that constitutes around the haptics [1]. Although there are some intraoperative and postoperative complications have been reported in the literature, short and moderate term results of these techniques are acceptable [2,3,6,7]. These complications generally are depended on types of SSF-IOL technique that are included hyphema, corneal edema, IOL dislocation, exposure of haptic, iris capture of IOL, break of IOL haptic, subconjunctival haptic, elevated intraocular pressure, hypotony, choroidal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and cystoids macular edema [1-8]. To our best knowledge, there is no article about removal of flanged sutureless scleral-fixated IOL in the literature.
