Abstract
We describe a method of explanting an implanted foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) through a small incision at the time of primary implantation without enlarging the original small incision. This method of bisecting foldable IOLs in the anterior chamber is safe and preserves the advantages of the original small incision.Keywords
