Silicone lens fracture using IOL injector

Prospective evaluation of intraoperative intraocular lens stress fracture during cataract surgery

“…The reported cases of IOL stress fractures involve IOLs of different materials, different delivery systems, and different timing for the onset of stress fractures. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] IOL stress fractures have been reported in all of the 3 most commonly used IOL materials: poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), silicone, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylate. Similarly, IOL stress fractures have been reported across all types of delivery methods, including forceps, unfolder, and injector or cartridge types of IOL delivery systems or methods.…”
