Title: Yamane Problems! Needle Bends!
Author: Austin S. Nakatsuka, MD
Date: 10/29/2024
Brief Description: Another Intraop Yamane Problem! The needle starts to bend when loading the trailing haptic. This causes it to be even more difficult to load the haptic! Luckily the day was saved and it worked out fine but just a heads up that this can happen! Make sure to bend the needle with the bevel facing AWAY from the center of the eye so that the haptic can load easier.
