Rescue Technique for Capsulorhexis Tear-out

Dr. Timothy Page demonstrates how microsurgical instruments can be used to safely perform an anterior zonulotomy for radial tear-outs that have become lodged in the zonular fibers. The anterior zonulotomy releases the tractional impediment caused by the anterior zonular fibers, enabling the use of conventional rescue methods to redirect the capsulorhexis centrally, with precise and deliberate maneuvers using instruments familiar to most surgeons.
