Can we fix it? | Kim-Modified Yamane Technique after Complex Cataract Removal | ISHF

www.EyeOC.com   / doctorkrad   Within a healthy eye is a clear lens. As we become older, that lens becomes cloudy. The cloudy lens is called a Cataract. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens implant. Most of the time, cataract surgery is uncomplicated and things go as expected. But there are risks with Cataract Surgery. If there is damage to the capsular bag, or significant weakness to the zonular fibers holding the bag, then the lens implant cannot be installed into it's physiologic position. The options are to place an anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL) or fixate a lens posterior to the iris (Posterior Chamber IOL or PCIOL). A PCIOL is preferred since there is less risk of glaucoma, less risk of cornea damage, and the eyes natural lens sits posteriorly. Intrascleral Haptic Fixation (ISHF) of an IOL is a slick way to secure a lens implant posterior to the iris. It's commonly known as the Yamane technique. In this video, I'll perform the Kim-Modified version of the Yamane Technique, which was suggested by Dr. Brian Kim. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment section below!
