Intraocular lens optic capture in eyes with zonular weakness in cataract patients

Abstract

We desribe a technique for managing cataracts in eyes with zonular weakness. The technique is a combination of microhook iris retractors to fixate the capsulorhexis, a capsular tension ring, and intraocular lens optic capture. Results of this technique in 70 eyes after a 13-month mean follow-up are reported. (C) 2013 ASCRS and ESCRS
