The case report by Chuah and Rajesh1 describes an intraoperative fracture of an AMO Clariflex silicone posterior chamber lens using the Allergan intraocular lens injector. While we agree that this was the first reported case in the literature, we certainly encountered similar cases in the past while using the Allergan UNFOLDER injector Silver Series (model PSHST) with the AMO ClariflexC silicone lens. In our experience, the main reason for the fracture was the shearing force of the injector overriding the lens while screwing the plunger (Figure 1). We found that elevating the plunger compensates for any looseness in the injector handle and depresses the tip into the lens, preventing overriding (Figures 2 and 3). This single change in technique allowed us to avoid this problem in our last 500 cases. We agree with the authors that a small tear in the lens usually causes no problems.Figure 1: Lens fracture results when the plunger overrides the lens.Figure 2: Elevating the plunger handle before screwing it corrects it position.Figure 3: The tip of the plunger exerts central rather than tangential force.
