A novel approach to scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses and capsular tension rings and segments in deep-set eyes

Conclusion:

The advantages of this procedure include a smaller diameter instrument (FlexLoop) as compared to the 25-gauge forceps typically employed, an easier to perform surgical maneuver that alleviates the need for both precise placement and constant tension to be exerted by the surgeon to grasp the sutures, as well as an instrument that can function when bent up to 45° to help accommodate deep-set eyes requiring this procedure.
