Performing an IOL exchange can be tricky, particularly if the patient has already had a YAG laser capsulotomy. In this case our guest surgeon (who was our featured podcast guest yesterday) removes a multi-focal IOL from a patient who has an open posterior capsule. An innovative solution in this case is using a capsule hook for counter-traction while dissecting the haptics from the capsular bag equator. A limited anterior vitrectomy is also performed using a pars plana approach. This is a handy guide for when you need to perform these cases. And be sure to check out our podcast!
