Key takeaways:

  • Intrascleral haptic fixation allows surgeons to place a three-piece IOL without capsular support.
  • The technique is straightforward, but challenges exist.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In a presentation from Kiawah Eye, Brandon D. Ayres, MD, uses surgical footage to discuss intrascleral haptic fixation to place an IOL without capsular support.

“The technique is relatively straightforward, but the videos always make it look easier than it actually is,” he said. “Measure, measure, measure and pay close attention to detail. That’s what is going to help in these cases.”
