RetinaRounds™ 11: Rotisserie Phenomenon: Yamane IOL

The Yamane flanged instrascleral haptic fixation technique is an elegant and efficient method for secondary lens implantation. While many 3-piece intraocular lenses can be used with this technique, the Zeiss CT Lucia lens offers an important advantage with its PVDF haptics that are more pliable and less prone to kinking with haptic externalization. One disadvantage, however, is the so-called "rotisserie" phenomenon, where the optic can tilt on the axis of the haptic. In this case, presented by guest surgeon Dr. Bill Gange, the tilted CT Lucia lens is rotated back into position and a laser locking procedure is employed to thermally deform the optic and haptic junction and stabilize the lens in the desired configuration. This is an excellent technique that can save a patient from a more invasive surgical procedure and we want to thank Dr. Gange for contributing this case.
