3004: Amon Forceps for Yamane scleral fixated IOL
This video demonstrates the utility of Amon Forceps when performing a Yamane scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) technique to create sutureless scleral pockets. These specialized instruments feature a dedicated needle tip design that allows the surgeon to efficiently track, create, and secure the scleral pathways required to house the PVDF haptics without the need for traditional suture material. By streamlining the needle pass and haptic externalization steps, this tool helps minimize conjunctival and scleral trauma while ensuring robust lens centration and structural stability. Watch the video to analyze how the needle tip forceps facilitate an elegant, repeatable pass through the sclera for stable sutureless fixation. What is your go-to instrumentation or modification for mastering the haptic externalization step in Yamane cases? Please comment your insights below.
