Alan S. Crandall, MD, describes indications of loose zonules, including asymmetry of the anterior chamber and dimpling of the capsule when a surgeon begins the capsulorhexis. To secure the optimal outcome, Dr. Crandall explains what devices he prefers to have on-hand at the onset of cases. These include capsular tension rings, Mackool Cataract Support System, and iris hooks. Different cases call for different CTRs and sizes—here's why.
