Cataract Extraction + Canaloplasty in Setting of Long Anterior Zonules (Malik Y. Kahook, MD)

This is a case of long anterior zonules with pigment dispersion glaucoma and a visually significant cataract. It was decided that the patient required cataract extraction and we decided to perform concomitant STREAMLINE® SURGICAL SYSTEM Canaloplasty to decrease intraocular pressure. In the setting of long anterior zonules, the capsulorhexis should be smaller to avoid the anteriorly positioned zonules which can redirect the leading edge of the rhexis. This video shows the proper technique for both cataract surgery as well as STREAMLINE® canaloplasty.
