Abstract:Purpose: The smaller incision, new-generation implantable miniature telescope is a novel implant to optimize vision in retinal patients with central vision loss. Using Miyake-Apple techniques we visualized the device implantation, repositioning, and explantation, while noting capsular bag dynamics.Methods: Using the Miyake-Apple technique, we assessed capsular bag deformation after successful implantation of the device in human autopsy eyes. We assessed rescue strategies for converting a sulcus implantation to… Show more
“…Scleral suturing of the first generation implant has already been described in case of capsule rupture or zonular dialysis and could be done using the eyelets within the PMMA haptics [ 3 ]. The silicone haptics of the present 3X do not include eyelets and are designed for in capsular placement only [ 4 ]. …”
