Abstract

In the mid-1970s and continuing into the 1980s, as an explosion in the number of intraocular lens (IOL) implantations occurred, the major concern of surgeons was to perfect their preferred surgical implantation technique. Even as the technology improved, it became evident that various complications following cataract surgery and IOL implantation still occasionally occurred. These were sometimes caused by surgical difficulties, inappropriate lens designs, and/or manufacturing defects. By the early 1980s, it became clear the surgeons needed to not only perfect their surgical insertion procedures, but also needed to be concerned with the surgical techniques required for removal of the IOL when necessary.
