you are so brave to leave ?OL like that. what if the patient has a trauma to the eye? Also postoperavite the ?OL is not well centralised.

well thought steps. could a larger sized iol be implanted to avoid edge glare at periphery.

Good surgery!, I'm really liking the intraescleral IOL fixation for cases without capsular support
