Single-piece S-plasty for small-incision IOL removal

Copyright © 2020 Published by Wolters Kluwer on behalf of ASCRS and ESCRS..

A foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) with a 6.0 mm optic was removed through a 2.2 mm corneal incision as a single piece with minimal wound trauma. By viscodissection, the IOL was freed from its position in the capsular bag and moved into the anterior chamber. Vannas scissors were introduced through a 2.2 mm corneal incision. A 4.5 mm straight slit was cut at each optic-haptic junction on opposite sides, perpendicular to each haptic shaft. This pair of parallel cuts generated 3 IOL segments in an S configuration that remained connected. The IOL was grasped by 1 haptic and removed as a single piece.
