Hello, Dr. Siddiqui, Thank you so much for your comment! We used a monofocal, acrylic, three-piece IOL with a 6.0-mm optic and 13-mm haptic-to-haptic distance. The IOL power was +27.0 D for the right eye and +26.0 D for the left eye. For the full details, you can read our complete article here: https://retinatoday.com/articles/2026-july-aug/beyond-the-conventional-a-modified-yamane-technique. (Please note: I apologize that I cannot reply directly to your comment at this time due to a platform error. Hopefully, I will be able to do so later on.)
