Intraocular lens roll-up technique: foldable IOL implantation using forceps through incisions smaller than 3.2 mm.
We describe the intraocular lens (IOL) roll-up technique, which uses lens forceps to insert 3 types of foldable polyacrylic IOLs with optic diameters of 6.0 mm through small sclerocorneal incisions comparable to those used by injector systems.
