ABSTRACT=<sec id="sec1"><title>Background</title><p>To report a novel surgical technique for recurrent pupillary optic capture after flanged intraocular lens (IOL) fixation.</p></sec><sec id="sec2"><title>Methods</title><p>In this retrospective case series, we detail our use of two parallel 7–0 polypropylene sutures passed between the iris plane and the optic of scleral-fixated IOL to address pupillary optic capture. Flanges were created using ophthalmic cautery to secure it to the sclera without suture.</p></sec><sec id="sec3"><title>Results</title><p>Two eyes with pupillary optic capture underwent a sutureless surgical technique using 7–0 polypropylene flanges. No recurrences of pupillary optic capture were observed during the 1-year follow-up.</p></sec><sec id="sec4"><title>Conclusion</title><p>Our sutureless surgical technique using a 7–0 polypropylene flange was an effective, efficient, and less invasive approach for treating recurrent pupillary optic capture.</p></sec>
