title: Endocapsular closed chamber technique for disc lens implantation.
abstract: A simple endocapsular technique for implantation of an 8 mm disc lens is described. Its main features are a scleral three-plane incision, a vertical-stab capsulotomy, cortical hydrodissection, a closed chamber technique during placement of the intraocular lens in the capsular bag, implantation under air and fluid, wherever feasible, and optional anterior capsulectomy with a 27-gauge needle bent at the tip. This technique requires no complicated equipment and allows atraumatic implantation of the disc lens with maximum control of anterior chamber depth.
