This seemed like a routine cataract case with a good capsulorhexis and strong zonular support. So why did the IOL not center well at the end of the case? The patient is a bit myopic and did have a larger anterior segment and the patient did have a history of distant tamsulosin use. What are your thoughts? Bonus points if you put your answer in the comment section below prior to the reveal of the answer!
