Double optic capture: a historical review
1Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, United States.
Abstract:
The surgical technique of double optic capture involves capturing the optic of an intraocular lens implant through both an anterior and posterior capsular opening as a method to reduce secondary capsule opacity and membranes, while ensuring intraocular lens (IOL) centration. The techniques of performing this procedure is described as well as newer surgical modifications of the technique for both pediatric and adult cataract surgery. Future directions involving its use in routine adult cataract surgery as a method to prevent posterior capsule opacity are discussed.
