a Peritomy in the 4 quadrants and creation of an initial 5-mm-long groove 2.0 mm from the limbus (red arrow). b A 16-mm needle with suture thread is inserted into the guide needle and later protrudes through the initial sulcus on the opposite side. Therefore, the thread runs through the globe (blue to green arrow). c This procedure is repeated with the same technique and needle but in the opposite direction. A knot is secured and inserted in the initial groove. d The same procedure is performed in the perpendicular meridian so that the threads form an efficient support in a netting-shaped structure where the IOL may be safely placed and positioned
