    The study evaluated the refractive outcomes of secondary IOL implantation using the Yamane technique in 37 eyes from 32 patients.

    Nineteen eyes underwent the Yamane technique, while eighteen eyes served as a control group with uncomplicated phacoemulsification.

    Key metrics assessed included refractive prediction error, mean absolute error, and intraocular lens tilt across different meridian axes.

  • 4

    The study aimed to determine the influence of IOL tilt on postoperative refractive predictability and visual performance.

    All surgeries were performed by two experienced surgeons to minimize the impact of the learning curve on outcomes.
