  • Title: Siepser slipknot for McCannel iris-suture fixation of subluxated intraocular lenses.
    Author: Chang DF.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2004 Jun; 30(6):1170-6. PubMed ID: 15177590.
    Abstract:
    In 8 cases that presented with symptomatic posterior chamber IOL subluxation, a McCannel polypropylene (Prolene) suture was used with the Siepser slipknot technique to successfully refixate the IOLs to the iris. There were no intraoperative complications, and a round pupil was preserved in all cases.
