AIM: To investigate the operation skills of keeping the intraocular lens centering and stabilizing and decreasing the complications in ciliary groove suture of posterior chamber intraocular lens. <p>METHODS: Totally 31 cases(31 eyes)undergone ciliary groove suture fixation with posterior chamber type of soft intraocular lens, fixing the position of the lens' optical surface stably in the middle by horizontal marking before or during the operations, locating and burning the puncture point, fixating with the suture and other standardizing operational procedure. <p>RESULTS: The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of 26(26/31, 84%)eyes' vision were more than 0.5 after following up of 12-24 weeks(average 18 weeks). All lens were kept centering and stabilizing, all eyes' refraction were corrected, and all had on complications during and after operations. <p>CONCLUSION: Ciliary groove suture with soft intraocular lens using small incision and standardizing operational procedure could perfectly correct the aphakia refraction and showed no special complications.
