MYX technique: A modified adaptation of Yamane and extraocular needle-guided haptic insertion techniques for scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation.


ABSTRACT: Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation in an important tool in the armamentarium of an ophthalmologist for managing aphakia. Various techniques have been described in the literature with variable learning curves. Herein, we describe an easy, fast, reproducible technique; the "MYX" technique, which utilizes the advantages of both the Yamane and the X-NIT technique, where the handshaking of the prolene haptic of a 3-piece PMMA IOL into the lumen of a 26-gauge needle is done externally (like in X-NIT technique), and the exteriorized haptic is cauterized to form a flange transconjunctivally, thereby avoiding the scleral pocket tucking (like Yamane technique), to achieve excellent surgical outcomes.
