Fig. 17. State of the art postoperative IOL appearance in the early 1980s. Note the can-opener anterior capsulotomy with an anterior radial tear superior temporal in this right eye. Note the IOL is well centered within the pupil and the mostly overlapping anterior capsular remnant. The haptic orientation is 90 degrees from the ART, and a slight stress line can be seen in the posterior capsule. Two positioning holes are present, and the dioptric power (17.5) is stamped on the peripheral optic of this J-looped IOLAB IOL. (Courtesy of James A.
