Indocyanine green staining of anteriorly placed zonules.
The anatomy of the capsules and zonules varies with each patient, particularly in the zonule-free zone. We present a case in which indocyanine green dye highlighted the anterior lens capsule and centrally encroaching zonular fibers within a 2.0 mm zonule-free zone. We suggest technique modifications to reduce the risk for capsule extensions and related complications.
