Evolution of Scleral Fixation, Haptic Externalization and Tucking Techniques.

The article discusses the evolution of techniques for scleral fixation, haptic externalization, and tucking in phakic rehabilitation for patients without capsular support. The use of anterior chamber (AC) IOL or scleral-fixated posterior chamber IOL (SF-PC IOL) is considered in these cases. The article highlights various techniques and modifications that have been developed to improve the outcomes of these procedures, including the "handshake" method for haptic externalization and the use of different needle sizes for externalizing the IOL haptics. The article emphasizes the importance of collaboration between surgeons and the industry to develop safer and more efficient techniques for haptic externalization and tucking.
