  Background: We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of two techniques for the correction of subluxated posterior intraocular lens (IOL): scleral fixation (SFIOL) and iris fixation of IOL (IFIOL). Methods: 112 eyes of 105 patients that underwent SFIOL or IFIOL at the Kaplan Medical Center between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively included, 73 eyes had SFIOL and 39 eyes had IFIOL.
