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.

Results
patient bcva pre bcva 1w bcva 1m final bcva 1 20/200 20//40 20/30 20/40 2 20/80 20/150 20/ 3 20/25 20/20 20/20 20/20 4 20/50 20/40 20/50 5 20/30 20/25 20/25 6 20/50 20/30 20/25 20/30 7 20/25 20/30 20/30 8 20/20 20/25 20/25 9 20/20 20/20 20/20 10 20/20 20/50 20/25 20/25 11 20/20 20/20 20/20 20/20 12 20/200 20/200 20/50 20/50 13 20/50 20/25 20/25 14 20/50 20/100 2 eyes lost one line of BCVA (20/20 to 20/25) 4 eyes gained lines of BCVA No surgical complications All lenses well centered No revisions required

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
