Abstract
We describe a technique for making an optimal flange in intraocular lenses (IOLs) used for flanged intrascleral IOL fixation. The flange shape varies in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) haptics of different IOLs of different manufacturers. We identified the distance between the forceps grip of the haptic and the end of the haptic during heating with a cauter as a critical factor for the optimal flange shape in 5 PMMA haptics but not in 2 polyvinylidene fluoride haptics.Entities:
