Suction-based levitation of dislocated IOL prevents contact with retina

Suction-based levitation with a sleeveless-extrusion cannula may be an alternative to the conventional method of removing dislocated IOLs from the vitreous cavity, according to a study.The novel technique, performed in tandem with 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, requires no grasping of the dislocated IOL or contact with the retina, according to lead author Ashvin Agarwal, MD.
