    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The Stableflex intraocular lens (IOL) presents removal challenges for inexperienced surgeons.
    • Its unique characteristics and potential for deep tissue erosion necessitate specialized techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new, less traumatic method for removing the Stableflex IOL.
    • To provide guidance for surgeons encountering difficulties with Stableflex IOL explantation.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical technique employing the lens haptics to facilitate removal.
    • Controlled amputation of lens loops prior to extraction from encapsulated tissue.

    Main Results:

    • The described method is relatively atraumatic when performed by experienced surgeons.
