A modified Yamane technique with a 26-gauge needle for aphakia correction is described. Single corneal or corneoscleral incision is set at 12 o'clock. The 26-gauge needles are used to make 2 angled incisions parallel to the limbus to fix the haptics of a 3-piece intraocular lens. The modifications provide an easier and safer way of haptic insertion into the needle tip and decreases the possibility of bending or breaking the haptic.
