Solving Z Crystalens Problem

Show Description +

In this video, Steven B. Siepser MD, addresses two contributing factors to Crystalens Z Syndrome in this severe case. After removing fibrosed tissue causing some traction, an endoscope was used to view haptic placement and it was discovered that one haptic was in front of the anterior capsule leaflet. After the lens is reapproximated in the sulcus, a Siepser Shielded Luminary Light Probe (Escalon Trek) was used during vitreous removal in the anterior chamber. Dropless cataract surgery using Tri-Moxi (Imprimis Pharmaceuticals) was instilled at the end of the case.
