Abstract
Phacoemulsification of the lens in eyes with zonular loss risks dislocation of the lens into the vitreous cavity. We describe the use of iris hooks after capsulorhexis to support the lens during surgery. With iris hooks, the lens can be stabilized, helping prevent additional loss of zonules and permitting retention of the capsule to support an intraocular lens.Entities:
