    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Current methods for intraocular lens (IOL) insertion face challenges.
    • Silicone IOLs require specific handling due to their material properties.
    • Existing instruments may not meet all requirements for optimal IOL folding and insertion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel two-forceps system for folding and inserting silicone IOLs.
    • To review existing methods and instruments for IOL implantation.
    • To discuss the essential requirements for handling silicone IOLs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a specialized two-forceps system.
    • Comparative review of current IOL insertion techniques and instruments.
    • Analysis of requirements for successful silicone IOL manipulation.

    Main Results:

    • The described two-forceps system facilitates controlled folding of silicone IOLs.
    • The system is designed for efficient and safe insertion into the capsular bag.
    • The study provides a comprehensive overview of current practices and future needs.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel two-forceps system offers a promising solution for silicone IOL implantation.
    • Understanding the specific requirements for silicone IOLs is crucial for surgical success.
    • Further evaluation of this system in clinical settings is warranted.
