    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery requires precise intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
    • Current IOL insertion methods can risk damage to sensitive eye structures.
    • Minimizing manipulation of IOL haptics is crucial for successful placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel intraocular lens carrier designed for enhanced safety and efficiency.
    • To facilitate atraumatic insertion of both anterior and posterior chamber IOLs.
    • To reduce the need for extensive haptic manipulation during IOL placement.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a polypropylene envelope with an integrated insertion leaf.
    • Utilizing the carrier to guide IOLs into the anterior chamber and ciliary sulcus/capsular bag.
    • Evaluating the device's ability to prevent contact with iris and cornea.

    Main Results:

    • The carrier enables IOL insertion without touching the iris or cornea.
    • Posterior chamber IOLs can be accurately guided into the ciliary sulcus or capsular bag.
    • Minimal to no haptic manipulation is required for successful IOL placement.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed intraocular lens carrier offers a safe and effective method for IOL implantation.
    • This device has the potential to minimize surgical trauma and improve surgical efficiency in cataract procedures.
    • It represents a significant advancement in surgical instrumentation for ophthalmic surgery.
