Flanged intraocular lens (IOL) fixation is a technique for eyes without capsular support, which can achieve firm haptic fixation with low invasiveness. In this technique, because the IOL haptics are fixed in the scleral tunnels, Fig. 1. The needle stabilizer has a handle and two wings on the outside the insertion angle of 30-gauge needles, used to create the of the ring-shaped body (A). The wings have grooves for passing a needle while maintaining a constant angle (B and C). scleral tunnels, is important. Inappropriate positioning of the insertion points and angles of the two needles may groove, and its tip is confirmed to be in the eye. A second cause decentration and tilting of the IOL. Hence, we 30-gauge needle is inserted in a similar manner on the created an instrument to ensure that the needles are in- contralateral side. The needle stabilizer is removed from serted in a correct position and at the correct angle. the eyeball
