Capsule Retractors and Sulcus Fixation - Case 2
By David F. Chang, MD
Cataract/Anterior Segment
As in the preceding case, the zonules are diffusely weak in this eye. The video demonstrates the technique of repositioning iris hooks from retracting the pupil to retracting the capsulorhexis edge, and later back to retracting the pupil. Due to the larger size of this anterior segment, a STAAR AQ2010 foldable IOL is selected for sulcus implantation because of the overall 13.5-mm length of this 3-piece silicone lens.
