    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic surgery
    • Medical device design
    • Intraocular lens implantation

    Background:

    • Posterior chamber lenses are crucial for vision restoration after cataract surgery.
    • Current implantation techniques can be challenging with flexible-loop designs.
    • Ensuring accurate lens placement is vital for optimal visual outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new forceps specifically engineered for implanting Harris-style and other flexible-loop posterior chamber intraocular lenses.
    • To demonstrate the utility of the forceps in facilitating secure lens placement.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of a novel surgical forceps.
    • Testing the forceps in simulated and/or cadaveric models for implanting flexible-loop posterior chamber lenses.

  • Evaluation of the forceps' ability to compress and guide the lens loop.

    • Main Results:

    • The designed forceps effectively compresses the superior loop of flexible posterior chamber lenses.
    • Successful implantation of lenses into the capsular bag and ciliary sulcus was achieved using the forceps.
    • The instrument demonstrated ease of use and control during the implantation process.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel forceps design offers a valuable tool for ophthalmic surgeons.
    • It simplifies the implantation of flexible-loop posterior chamber lenses, potentially improving surgical efficiency and patient outcomes.
