Figure 2 The diagrams show the double trimming of the haptics in the trimmed group. A 2.0-mm section was cut off the haptics before the IOL was inserted into the eye (A). Two 1.0-mm sections were marked at points from which the haptics passed through the sclera, and the unmarked parts were cut off (B). The 1.0-mm marks were cauterized to create flanges and fixed into the scleral tunnels (C).
