CataractCoach™ 2066: belt loop flanges within the cornea for IOL fixation

We have seen many techniques of IOL fixation in cases of insufficient capsular support where the flange technique is used to secure the haptics to the sclera. This can be done with the Yamane technique or with the belt loop method as long as care is taken to avoid flanges that are prone to exposure and extrusion. Our guest surgeon posts many videos to instagram where he advocates an alternate technique where he secures the flange into an intra-stromal corneal pocket. This avoids the risk of eroding through the conjunctiva and sclera, but will the corneal stroma hold up as the years progress? It is an interesting technique from a smart, young surgeon and I think you will enjoy learning from the video.
