An anterior zonulotomy technique to rescue a capsulorhexis tear-out is described. The technique uses microsurgical instruments that are capable of performing microprocedures within the confines of the anterior chamber. The anterior zonulotomy releases the tractional impediment caused by the anterior zonular fibers, enabling the surgeon to use conventional rescue methods to redirect the COG centrally. The technique demonstrates how microsurgical instruments can be used to safely perform an anterior zonulotomy for radial tear-outs that have become lodged in the zonular fibers.
