Hello Dr. Berrocal and thank you very much for the video. In your experience, is this technique suitable for a 3 piece silicone lens?

What kind of IOL is there in the eye? Is this procedure suitable for a one-piece acrylic IOL?

this is a pmma iol, the technique works well also on 3 piece acrylics,i have used it on a partially dislocated one piece acrylic to suture one haptic.

Your iris sutured IOL is excellent. You mentioned the importance of not leaving a 'cats eye' pupil. This has occurred in a couple of cases I have done. What are your tips on avoiding this and do you think lens optic size is a factor.

The cats eye pupil occurs if one grabs a long area of iris with the needle or also if one is suturing the edge of the iris to a haptic more near the periphery. Sometime it is inevitable and not a real problem particularly in pigmented irises.
