2571: zonular loss noted in cortex removal

Close-up view of an eye showing zonular loss during a medical procedure, with text prompting the viewer to consider the next steps in the case.

In this resident case, you can clearly see zonular loss during cortex removal but you could have also seen it at the beginning of the case once the AC was filled with viscoelastic. The attending surgeon teaching this case wisely points that out right at the beginning so there are no surprises for this young resident surgeon. How will you complete this case now? How can you minimize further complications like vitreous prolapse? What can be done to securely place the IOL for good long term stability? Please comment below.
