Zonulolysis (Zonulolysis)

Zonulolysis is a procedure that involves lysing (dissolving) the supporting ligament of the lens (zonulus ligament) of the eye using enzymes injected behind the iris. This makes it easier to remove the lens for cataracts. However, this procedure is not currently used for cataract surgery because it can lead to complications and visual impairment.

Zonulolysis was developed in the early 2000s and was used to treat glaucoma, but it was later discovered that it could also be used to remove cataracts. The procedure involves injecting enzymes into the posterior chamber of the eye, which dissolve the ligament of zinc, making it easier to remove the lens.

However, there are some risks associated with this procedure. First, the enzymes can cause irritation and inflammation of the eye, which can lead to poor vision and even loss of the eye. Secondly, lysis of the zonule of cinnamon can lead to changes in the shape of the lens and make it difficult to remove. Third, the procedure may not be effective for some types of cataracts and may not always produce the desired results.

Nowadays, most surgeons prefer to use other cataract removal methods, such as phacoemulsification or laser cataractotomy. These methods are safer and more effective than zonulolysis and provide better results when removing cataracts.

However, in some cases, zonulolysis may be the only way to remove cataracts and preserve vision. Therefore, if you are considering cataract surgery, you should discuss all possible treatment options with your doctor and choose the one that is most suitable for you.



Zonalolysis is a procedure performed to treat cataracts by lysing the supporting ligament of the lens (zonal zonule) using enzymes injected into the eye. This procedure was developed to ease the process of cataract lens removal and reduce the risk of complications associated with surgery.

Zonalolysis is performed during lens removal surgery. The doctor injects enzymes into the back of the eye, where the ligament of cinnamon is located. The enzymes break down the ligament, making it easier for the surgeon to remove the lens.

However, zonolysis is not currently widely used in cataract surgery. This is because the procedure can be dangerous and difficult to perform, and can also cause a number of complications such as bleeding, infection and damage to surrounding tissue. Additionally, modern cataract treatments such as laser surgery and intraocular lenses can achieve more effective results without the risk of complications associated with zonulolysis.



**Zonulolysis** is an eye surgery technique that uses special medications to facilitate the process of removing a type of lens called a cataract. The drugs are injected into the back layer of the eye through the iris and break down the supporting ligament of the lens, the ligament of Zinn. This approach helps the surgeon more precisely control the movement of the lens and simplifies the process of removing it.

This method was developed in the 1960s when surgeons were faced with the problem of being unable to remove an already partially degraded lens that had become too fragile to be removed without disturbing the shape of the eye. However, over the years, scientists have worked to improve drugs and develop new technologies that would make surgery easier and less invasive.

There are two types of drugs used for zonulolysis: steroids and mucopolysaccharides. Steroids are used to stimulate healing and prevent infection in the eye; they also increase the rate of absorption of mucopolysaccharide through the mucous membrane of the eye. Mucopolysachids reduce the size of the lens zone in cataracts and promote its movement. In some cases, a combination of both types of prepratators may be used.

The procedure for performing zonulolysis is quite simple. The surgeon first applies local anesthesia and then injects medications into the back layer of the eyeball using a small needle. This usually takes a few minutes, after which the doctor observes the effect over several hours or days, sometimes throughout the day. If the result is satisfactory, then the lens area becomes more amenable to removal and the operation is successful.

One of the main advantages of the procedure is
