Surgical Repair of a Subluxated Cataract and Pupilloplasty

Show Description +

Georges Durr, MD, FRCSC, presents a case of a patient with a subluxated cataract and correctopia secondary to a previous blunt trauma. The surgical repair required capsular hooks to support the bag during cataract removal followed by a scleral-sutured capsular tension segment and a capsular tension ring to help secure the IOL. A single interrupted iris suture using 10-0 polypropylene on a CIF-4 needle was placed to decrease any glare/dysphotopsia from the IOL edge and to restore a more physiologic pupil.
