I agree with Tom 100%. If I were doing this case today I would most likely use a Malyugin ring
Viva Malyugin!
seems to me the discovisc did not help at all in dilating the pupil. the surgeon's skill saves the day. i think "lesser" or "regular" surgeons like me would put in hooks to reduce the risk inherent in this kind of case.
