Image captures of the two surgeries. Images (a–c) show the Yamane technique. The leading haptic of the three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) was inserted in the 30 gauge hypodermic needle (a). The trailing haptic was inserted thereafter (b). After externalizing both haptics 2.5 mm posterior to the surgical limbus, both haptic ends were flanged (c) and inserted into the scleral tunnels. Images (d–f) show the Carlevale-technique. The leading haptic was externalized through the sclerotomy 1.5 mm posterior to the surgical limbus using a 24 gauge intraocular forceps (d). Subsequently, the leading haptic was externalized using a handshake technique through the opposite sclerotomy (e). The T-haptics were then placed into the scleral pockets, which were then closed using two single knot 8.0 polyglactin sutures on each side (f)
