Recurrent corneal decompensation required IOL exchange and corneal transplantation. In order to save the pre-existing Artificial Iris (AI) within the eye, two radial cuts were made into the AI. Utilising a Forceps Needle for haptic externalisation, the IOL was safely implanted through this “Saloon Door” and flanged. This new technique allows IOL exchange behind an AI without its removal.
