Forceps insertion with incisional anesthesia for Sensar intraocular lenses.
This technique to prevent self-adherence of the Sensar acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) optic during forceps insertion with wound stretch includes modifications to the 3-and-9 insertion technique to prevent difficulties that may be encountered with this phenomenon. To decrease patient sensation during IOL insertion and thus improve surgeon control, the corneal tunnel incision is directly anesthetized.
