    Summary

    The AMO SI-18NB intraocular lens haptics can deform during surgery. A new technique is presented to prevent haptic distortion and improve lens centering for better patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • The AMO SI-18NB intraocular lens features a 14 mm polypropylene haptic structure designed for small incision insertion.
    • The inherent softness of the polypropylene material makes the haptics susceptible to permanent shape alteration if excessively bent during implantation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an alternative surgical technique for intraocular lens implantation.
    • To mitigate extreme haptic distortion during the implantation of soft intraocular lenses.
    • To enhance the centration of the intraocular lens optic within the capsular bag.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a novel surgical approach.
    • Focus on techniques that minimize manipulation and bending of the intraocular lens haptics.
    • Evaluation of the technique's impact on lens positioning and stability.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed technique successfully spares the haptic structure from extreme distortion.
    • Improved centration of the intraocular lens optic was observed compared to conventional methods.
    • The alternative technique facilitates safer implantation of soft intraocular lenses.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented surgical technique offers a viable solution to the challenge of haptic distortion in soft intraocular lenses.
    • This method enhances surgical precision, leading to better intraocular lens centration and potentially improved visual outcomes.
    • Further research may explore long-term stability and efficacy of this technique.
