ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for surgical accomplishment or aphakic correction. After intracapsular cataract extraction has been successfully completed the artificial lens, held securely in the Binkhorst implant forceps, is introduced into the anterior chamber. The three posterior loops of the implant are then inserted behind the iris through the pupil with the bend of the anterior loop in front at the 12 o'clock position across the iridectomy. The posterior loop is held and stabilized through the iridectomy with a loop forceps while a specially designed micro staple positioned in a holder and locked therein is placed over the anterior loop of the implant and pressed until the ends of the micro staple clear the posterior loop. The blades of the micro staple holder are pressed firmly to close the micro staple. The forceps and micro staple holder are then removed. The anterior chamber is then formed with an air bubble and the section closed with 9.0 monofilament nylon sutures, the air is then removed and replaced with balanced salt solution. The procedure is then completed.
