CAPSULAR CLIP FOR CORRECTING ZONULAR WEAKNESS POST-CATARACT SURGERY

摘要

When zonular attachments of a capsule holding an implanted lens weaken after cataract surgery, a capsular clip may be utilized to secure the capsular bag to the eye wall. The capsular clip may comprise an eyelet and a flat hook. The hook may be inserted either via a small surgeon created separation between the anterior capsule leaflet and the intraocular lens or via puncturing the capsular bag in a small area, and may be placed between the capsular bag and the implanted lens to secure the capsule in the appropriate position within the eye. Suture thread may be fed through the eyelet of the capsular clip to sew the capsular clip to the eye wall, thus securing the capsular clip and the capsule in place.
