This post shows:
– A patient with IOL OPTIC CAPTURED post phacoemulsification in Morgagnian Cataract;
– Example drawing;
– Rhexis size example;
– Three piece IOL recommended to use in the technique.
I recommend to capture the optical zone in patients with:
– Posterior capsule rupture;
– Morganagnian cataract and;
– Large Capsular bag.
IMPORTANT – To capture the IOL optic, the capsulorhexis opening must be at least 1.0 to 2.0 mm smaller than the optic diameter.
ADVANTAGES
– The technique provides stability and long-term centration of the IOL – Prevents vitreous from extending anterior to the IOL in posterior capsular rupture;
– Prevents pigmentary dispersion.
