Conclusions and Importance: Hoffman’s SFIOL using double-armed Gore-Tex could be safe and effective methods for cases with no adequate capsular support for the IOL implantation. Compared to prolene suture, Gore-Tex gives more tensile strength and requires less manipulation during surgery minimizing postoperative inflammation which could be a valuable option in the nearby future for similar cases.
