Malyugin Ring vs. Iris Hooks
Posted By Dr. Ari Weitzner On May 31, 2009 @ 11:17 am In Cataract | Comments Disabled
I have never used the Malyugin ring, but it looks like an elegant design, especially the new one that expands to a full 7 mm. But I wonder if the proximal eyelet gets in the way of the phaco probe, and I wonder if it stays in place the entire case. I understand from Dr. Chang’s paper that iris prolapse is still possible with the ring. Also, it still seems to me that hooks can provide greater exposure. I was hoping those who have used both could share their experiences
