Intraocular lens optic capture: a fixture for over 35 years
Brian M. DeBroff, Howard V. Gimbel
TL;DR
This editorial reviews the development and various techniques of optic capture for intraocular lens fixation over the past 35 years.
Contribution
The paper provides a comprehensive review of the evolution and applications of optic capture techniques in intraocular lens fixation.
Findings
Optic capture allows IOL fixation through a curvilinear opening in the lens capsule.
Techniques have expanded from the anterior to the posterior capsule and even double fixation.
The editorial highlights the versatility and long-term utility of optic capture methods.
Abstract
The creation of a round, continuous curvilinear opening in the lens capsule has enabled techniques to fixate or capture the intraocular lens (IOL) optic through the opening to achieve fixation of the IOL. Optic capture enable IOL fixation and centration even in the absence of an intact capsular bag. This was first described for usage in the anterior capsule, but has subsequently been shown to be useful not only for the posterior capsule, but even for double fixation through intact curvilinear openings in both anterior and posterior capsules. This editorial reviews the many different techniques of optic capture that evolved over the last 35 years.
