Refractive Outcomes of the Yamane Flanged Intrascleral Haptic Fixation Technique

Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implants—evolution of surgical techniques and future developments

“…Refractive results of the sutureless flanged intrascleral haptic fixation were reported by Rocke et al [125] in 110 eyes undergoing insertion of a 3-piece IOL (Tecnis ZA9003-Abbott Medical Optics) and 25-Gauge PPV. Barrett Universal II Formula was used to calculate predicted refractive error.…”

“…However, in-the-bag placement showed a greater proportion of eyes with a prediction error within 0.5 D compared with Yamane IOL fixation (72% vs 34%; P < .0001). 9…”

“…However, in-the-bag placement showed a greater proportion of eyes with a prediction error within 0.5 D compared with Yamane IOL fixation (72% vs 34%; P < .0001). 9 The Yamane technique is known to be technically challenging and has a steep learning curve. However, with practice, surgical time has been reported to be less than sutured IOL techniques.…”

<p>Clinical Outcomes and Lens Constant Optimization of the Zeiss CT Lucia 602 Lens Using a Modified Yamane Technique</p>

“…However, both studies combined information from multiple different IOLs, precluding lens constant optimization. 15,20 We report the clinical outcomes of a series of 121 consecutive eyes of a heterogeneous population that underwent implantation of the Zeiss CT Lucia 602 lens (formerly the Aaren Scientific EC3PAL) by a single surgeon using the single-needle modification of the Yamane technique. In 109 eyes with reliable postoperative refractions, we were able to optimize the lens constant, which is necessary to improve refractive outcomes using the Yamane technique.…”
