    Zonular Dialysis, Iridodialysis, and Vitreous Prolapse

    By David F. Chang, MD
    Cataract/Anterior Segment

    Triamcinolone suspension is used to stain the vitreous that has prolapsed through a traumatic zonular dialysis and the pupil. Compartmentalizing the vitreous prolapse with a dispersive OVD prevents vitreous aspiration until the cortical aspiration stage. The vitrectomy is performed via a pars plana sclerotomy to prevent drawing more vitreous anteriorly through the zonular defect. Following CTR placement, the IOL is implanted within the capsular bag.
