        I will demonstrate proper evaluation for earliest detection of zonular 
          dialysis, preoperatively and intraoperatively. In cases with significant 
          zonular weakness of more than 180 degrees, it is unlikely that 
          the surgeon will be able to remove the lens while maintaining the 
          capsular bag for PC IOL support. I have been trying to minimize the 
          risk of vitreous loss by controlling the fluid misdirection using “Iris 
          retractor”. “Slow Phaco” was performed. IOL was sutured in the 
          sulcus without disturbing the vitreous face. Surgery is performed 
          under complete compartmentalization of the surgical field to minimize 
          the vitreous hydration. Size of the capsulorhexis, location and 
          direction of the IOL is important in minimizing zonular detachment 
          during follow up period.
