Comparison of Different IOL Types in the Flanged IOL Fixation Technique

Figure 1

Testing the tensile strength of haptics. The tip of the haptic, grasped by pedestal A, was pulled horizontally with respect to the optic (arrow) at a speed of 3 mm/min, with the optic fixed on pedestal B. The load limit value was measured at the moment when a haptic was separated from the optic. The IOL power was 20 diopters in this test. Each test was repeated 15 times, and the mean values were calculated.
