Abstract:
A new technique to manage limited zonular weakness during phacoemulsification is presented in this report. The technique, called magnet-assisted capsular bag fixation, uses the magnetic implant to stretch and fixate the capsular bag over the zonular dehiscence area for patients with limited zonular disruption, which stabilizes the capsular bag and facilitates cataract extraction.
