Abstract
The author introduced a new forceps for attaining a standardized flange for intrascleral intraocular lens fixation. Having a reference cylinder eliminates the need for rulers or calipers, simplifying intraoperative measurements. In addition, the presence of a grooved grasping end allows for a gentle holding of haptics or sutures without the risk of kinking them. It was tested in poly(methylmethacrylate) haptics, polyvinyl fluoride haptics, and 6-0 polypropylene sutures demonstrating a safe, efficient, and reproducible method for creating a flange.
