A method is described for introducing a scleral fixation bag into an eye. The scleral fixation bag includes haptics that extend therefrom. The method includes inserting and affixing the haptics into sclerotomies formed in the eye； the haptics affix the scleral fixation bag without a need for natural capsular bag support. The haptics of the scleral fixation bag include a slender loop element and a distal hook portion that extends from a distal end of the slender loop element. The distal hook portion has an anterior edge tilted towards the central anterior-posterior axis of the scleral fixation bag.
