Traditional methods, such as cutting or folding the IOL within the eye, pose a high risk of complications, including corneal endothelial and iris damage. Methods: We developed a new minimally invasive technique for direct IOL removal using specially designed lens-grabbing forceps. These forceps can grasp and remove the IOL through a small incision in a single motion, significantly reducing intraocular manipulations compared to conventional methods. Results: In our test cases, IOL removal through a 2.2 mm corneal incision was completed in approximately 95 s, with minimal incision enlargement (about 0.16 mm) and a slight decrease in corneal endothelial cells. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that this technique is minimally invasive and safe for IOL removal, offering a promising alternative to existing methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13102938","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]],"date-time":"2024-05-16T09:30:03Z","timestamp":1715851803000},"page":"2938","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Direct Intraocular Lens Extraction Using a Newly Developed Lens-Grabbing Forceps"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6762-9087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santaro","family":"Noguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Saneikai Tsukazaki Hospital, Himeji 671-1227, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shunsuke","family":"Nakakura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Saneikai Tsukazaki Hospital, Himeji 671-1227, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Tabuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Saneikai Tsukazaki Hospital, Himeji 671-1227, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asuka","family":"Noguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ASUCA Eye Clinic, Sendai 980-0021, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"688","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2005.05.015","article-title":"Changing indications for and improving outcomes of intraocular lens exchange","volume":"140","author":"Jin","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am.
