In this presentation from the Cataract Spotlight at AAO 2019, Dr. Steven Safran presents his 5 pearls for doing the Yamane double-flanged IOL fixation:

  • Have the tools you need ready.
  • Work in a closed system with an infusion line to control IOL.
  • Only after a proper complete vitrectomy, mark it.
  • Test centration before melting your flanges.
  • Make a peripheral iridotomy to prevent reverse pupillary block and optic capture.
