A Novel Sutureless Scleral-Fixated Lens That Eliminates Extra Ocular Haptic Manipulation: The CM-T Flex Lens.

The authors present their experience with an innovative model of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL): the CM-T Flex intraocular lens (IOL). By its unique design, the CM-T Flex IOL simplifies the process of SFIOL fixation by limiting the process to simply exteriorizing and releasing the haptic. This retrospective cohort study included nine eyes with surgical aphakia. The CM-T Flex IOL was used in these nine aphakic eyes that had completed a 3-month follow-up. Improvement in visual acuity (0.34 ± 0.25 logMAR [range: 0.2 to 1] to 0.22 ± 0.32 logMAR [range: 0 to 0.77]) was recorded with no major complications. IOL stability and centration was established. The authors concluded that the CM-T Flex IOL was effective for refractive rehabilitation in aphakic eyes. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:648-650.].
