Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate outcomes of management of profound zonular weakness using capsule support device

Setting:

Dnipropetrovsk regional ophthalmic clinic

Methods:

We retrospectively studied 38 eyes of 34 patients which underwent surgery from July 2015 to February 2017 . In all cases capsular bag was sutured to the sclera without conjunctival dissection ( Hoffman scleral pockets) prior or after phacoemulsification or aspiration . In 20 cases it was used in conjunction with CTR.We have used these devise in a variety of cases , including blunt traumatic zonular rupture (7), lens subluxation secondary to pseudoexfoliation(21) and hereditary zonular pathologies such as primary ectopia lentis (8 eyes of 4 patients), late capsular bag CTR IOL complex dislocation (2).

Results:

Good functional and anatomical outcomes were achieved in all cases. No device-related complications were observed .

Conclusions:

Capsule support devise is effective tool in management of severe zonular weakness
