Doing Glued is little tricky. Anterior segment surgeons are not comfortable to handle long forceps in ant vitreous cavity often leads to IOL drop. Late dislocation of SF IOL are reported in literature due suture lysis. An approach was initiated to combine both procedure taking best of both. This is technically easy for anterior segment surgeon . Distal end of hydrophobic multi piece IOL was bent and proline suture was attached to it by a knot. IOL haptic was pulled through sclera like wound . Greatest advantage of this technique is that in subluxated cataract THIS Modified Glued IOL could be done keeping capsular bag in place.
