Title	A new generation of haptics
Abstract Nr.	1020

Purpose	To avoid tilt of the intraocular lens in the capsular bag.
Methods	One year postoperative slit lamp examination of one hundred eyes with a 2 C-loop implant and one hundred eyes with a 4 cardinal C-loop implant.
Results	37 % of the 2 C-loop presented a partial optic capture in the capsulorhexis,which creates some tilt and, consequently,astigmatism. None of the 4 cardinal C-loop presented this imperfection.
Conclusion	The 4 cardinal C-loop haptics prevent optic tilting in the capsular bag. They can be described as "premium haptics" comparatively to the conventional 2 C-loop configuration.
