- Identifying etiologies for zonulopathy will help ophthalmologists manage it during surgery.
- Using capsular tension rings and performing scleral fixation can help with surgical complications.
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In this presentation from Kiawah Eye, Caroline Watson, MD, shows how ophthalmologists can identify zonulopathy during examination and presents tools and surgical techniques that may help manage it during surgery.
Watson discusses capsular tension ring technologies tailored for different etiologies of zonulopathy that are available to ophthalmologists and demonstrates surgical techniques that may be performed in conjunction with inserting a CTR to help salvage surgery during complications.
“There are multiple etiologies for zonulopathy,” she said. “It’s really important for us to notice these things during an exam because it can change when a patient is supine.”
