2040: Ahmed segment secured with Gore-tex

This patient presents with a traumatic cataract with extensive zonular loss which means that simply placing an IOL within the capsular bag will be insufficient for long term stability.

The result is a great outcome with a well-centered IOL that should last for many years and perhaps even the patient’s lifetime.
