Modified Carlevale Technique: No Flaps, No Extra Sclerotomies, No Scleral Sutures

Show Description +

Eduardo Roditi, MD, and H. Burkhard Dick, MD, PhD, FEBOS-CR, present a modified intrascleral fixation technique involving implantation of the Carlevale IOL, which requires no scleral flaps, lodges the T-shaped IOL haptics in the scleral wall, and utilizes the same sclerotomies to place the vitrectomy ports. This technique is minimally invasive, limits postoperative hypotony risk, reduces operation time, avoids iatrogenic damage to the sclera, and needs no scleral sutures.
