Abstract
We describe phacoemulsification in both eyes of a patient with anterior megalophthalmos. Surgery in such cases can be challenging because of a deep anterior chamber, enlarged ciliary ring, weakened zonules, and large capsular bag. Phacoemulsification performed through a scleral tunnel resulted in a stable wound. We report the use of anterior optic capture technique (optic within the capsulorhexis margin, haptics in the sulcus) for successful intraocular lens implant centration.Entities:
