Removal of an Akreos IOL

Show Description +

Ten days following implantation, Dr. Hirshfield demonstrates the removal of an Akreos lens (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) in an IOL exchange case. A pair of Mackool IOL Cutters (MSI Precision Instruments, Phoenixville, PA) are used to cut the lens 90% through the optic, so that the implant can be explanted in one maneuver.
