A simplified technique to explant an acrylic (AcrySof) intraocular lens through the original scleral frown incision is presented. After the haptics have been separately removed from the optic, the optic is grasped by a lens holder forcep and wiggled through the incision site. No wound enlargement is necessary. The limited intracameral manipulations minimize any potential damage to the posterior capsule or corneal endothelium.
