SIN SOPORTE CAPSULAR
The Holder is a modular artificial capsular support system. It enables safe, universal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation—including premium toric and multifocal lenses—in eyes lacking adequate natural capsular support.
Absence or profound weakness of capsular support obligates the use of secondary IOL fixation techniques.
Rather than fixating the lens itself, the proposed paradigm involves fixating a stable, non-fibrosing artificial capsule. Any standard or premium IOL can then be securely placed within this platform.
A single Holder accommodates premium, toric, multifocal, and EDOF lenses. No need for specialized 3-piece clinical backup inventory.
Internal microscopic grooving prevents rotation of toric lenses, ensuring effective astigmatic correction over time.
The platform does not undergo fibrosis. Lenses can be smoothly removed and exchanged decades later without damaging intraocular structures.
When the anterior capsule is preserved, the Holder is directly anchored to the capsulorhexis margins via superior and inferior fixation grooves.
Scleral anchoring utilizing PMMA or Polypropylene supports (Valvecchia modification of Yamane technique) 2mm from the limbus.
Standard 3.2 mm phacoemulsification incision.

Implantation of preferred IOL into the artificial bag.
| Clinical Feature | Traditional Scleral Fixation (e.g., Yamane) | HOLDER |
|---|---|---|
| What is Fixated | IOL Haptics | Artificial Capsular Platform |
| Adjustability Post-Fixation | No | Yes (Adjustable scleral supports) |
| Premium IOL Compatibility | Limited (Monofocal 3-piece primarily) | Universal (Toric, Multifocal, EDOF) |
| Future IOL Exchange | Highly Difficult / Traumatic | Designed for unobstructed exchange |
| Tilt Control Strategy | Variable precision | Triangular equidistant fixation design |
Addressing refractive evolution in growing eyes.
Historically, pediatric IOL implantation before age 2 forced a choice between extreme short-term refractive targets or long-term ametropia relying on external correction to prevent amblyopia.
The modular nature of the Holder allows for sequential IOL exchanges. As the axial length of the child's globe elongates, the IOL power can be safely updated over the years without risking capsular trauma. This allows maintaining emmetropia throughout childhood development.
Notice: This device is currently for investigational use and research only. Not yet approved for commercial distribution.
Because the device maintains a stable, fibrotic-free intraocular volume, future research pathways are exploring its use as a housing for advanced modular tech.
This includes structured evaluation of intraocular electronic modules, biometry sensors, or meta-displays that require periodic extraction and upgrading over a patient's lifetime.
