Yamane technique on SimulEYE Iris Suturing & IOL Fixation (ISIF) model.

The Technique

Watch as Nicole Fram, MD masterfully demonstrates the Yamane double needle technique of IOL scleral fixation on the Iris Suturing & IOL Fixation (ISIF) model. The nuances of this technique including incision placement, approach angles and so much more can be figured out prior to live surgery. The surgeon can better understand where tilt and decentration occur and make adjustments to their technique to minimize these complications in their patients.

The ISIF (Iris Suturing & IOL Fixation) Model

This model provides an eye with a flexible iris that can be easily cut and then repaired with various suturing techniques. The root of the iris can be disinserted to practice iridodialysis repair. Various IOL fixation techniques can be practiced including iris suture fixation, scleral suture fixation, and intrascleral fixation including the Yamane technique. In addition, IOL cutting and exchanges can be practiced. Multiple procedures can be performed on each model before the eye is consumed.
