Course Description: Cataract surgery and the implantation of an IOL in in cases with reduced capsular support remains challenging for many surgeons. Capsular hooks can aid a surgeon complete the surgery while minimizing the risk of vitreious loss and further capsular degradation. Capsular tension rings and segments allow the surgeon to place their chosen IOL into the capsular bag and minimize the risk of lens subluxation. Attendees will gain expe...
