27-GAUGE SUTURELESS INTRASCLERAL FIXATION OF INTRAOCULAR LENSES WITH HAPTIC FLANGING

Abstract

Haptic flanging during 27-gauge sutureless intrascleral surgery creates a more stable scleral-fixated IOL compared with the traditional unflanged technique based on a cadaveric human eye study. In addition, this variation of sutureless intrascleral surgery seems safe and effective for patients who require secondary IOLs.
