This video shares surgical tips for the management of a case with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) associated with zonular laxity. In this case, the anterior chamber depth was detected to be very shallow, indicating a generalized zonular laxity. The patient had advanced angle-closure glaucoma due to the movement of the iris-lens diaphragm complex anteriorly. Four capsular hooks were placed, followed by a phaco-chop technique for nucleus disassembly. A three-piece IOL was placed in the sulcus followed by optic capture to provide long-term stability of the capsule-IOL complex.
