Abstract
After implantation through a temporal limbal tunnel incision, a soft acrylic lens (ACR360, loptex) had to be exchanged because of power miscalculation. An intraocular folding technique, which enabled the surgeon to remove the lens through the initial incision, is described. Using this maneuver, the advantages of small incision cataract surgery can be preserved.Keywords
