Fig. 26. The free end of this suture is retrieved from the pupillary space and brought through the wound with a microhook. It is then securely tied to the eyelet in the proximal haptic of the lens, ensuring that it is not entangled with any of the previously placed distal sutures. Care is taken to loop the double-armed suture symmetrically through the eyelets, thus minimizing torquing and tilting of the lens optic.
