Intra-operative challenges encountered using the zepto nano-pulse precision capsulotomy device.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Zepto nano-pulse precision capsulotomy is a novel device for capsulorhexis formation during cataract surgery. Few complications or challenges have been reported while using this device. The purpose of this paper is to highlight two intra-operative challenges that were encountered while using the Zepto device.

Observations

CASE 1 - A 65-year-old with advanced primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and an in situ Ahmed Glaucoma Valve located in the anterior chamber. During a planned phacoemulsification procedure, the tube became trapped between the suction cup of the Zepto device and the lens, resulting in a sudden complete collapse of the anterior chamber. The procedure was completed after appropriate interventions. On post-operative day 1 Descemet folds were v
