Severe Zonule Laxity: The Zonule-Friendly Technique

Play Video

Surgery Description

Pseudoexfoliation and a large nucleus that masks zonule laxity is the situation with this eye in which the anterior capsule behavior during capsulorhexis doesn’t alert the surgeon to the true status of the zonule. Using Trypan Blue, 360º viscodissection, a back crack technique, special techniques to rotate the nucleus, capsule retractors and a CTR, I am able to perform zonule-friendly phaco and IOL insertion in an eye that continues to bring surprises throughout the case. The video is necessarily a bit long but I think you will really enjoy this one!
