Simplified insertion technique for the SI-26NB intraocular lens

Inserting the 13 mm SI-26NB intraocular lens is a challenging task complicated by the need to tuck the modified C-configuration haptics within a folded optic. This step causes undue stress on the haptic and may result in asymmetrical distortion and subsequent decentration. Excluding this step simplifies the technique, as well as decreases the degree of acute angle stress on the haptic as it is passed through the scleral tunnel.
