Sumario:Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SH) is a rare complication of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL). In this series, we report three cases of sutureless SFIOL who developed SH postoperatively. Details of surgery, treatment, and outcome were analyzed. Two cases had limited SH which resolved with conservative treatment and had optimum visual recovery. One case developed massive SH needing surgical drainage, with final best-corrected visual acuity of 6/18 due to a persistent retinal fold. SH can be a potential complication while creating scleral grooves for haptic fixation. The use of a bent needle instead of a straight microvitreoretinal knife while creating scleral grooves might reduce the risk of SH in sutureless SFIOL surgeries.
