SOLD OUTImplantation of an IOL in the absence of capsular support remains challenging for many surgeons. Intrascleral haptic fixation using the flanged, double needle (Yamane) technique allows the surgeon to scleral fixate a 3 piece IOL in the setting of complete zonular compromise.  The technique leaves the conjunctiva and sclera relatively undisturbed compared to other scleral fixation techniques while also reducin...
