Each tight junction is followed by an adhering zonule extending between arrows 2 and 3 and, farther away, by a desmosome marked D. A condensation of finely fibrillar material occurs mainly along the adhering zonules on each side of the bile capillary.

The rim of a small-sized lens along with zonule is clearly seen through the fully dilated pupil.

In most cases, the goal of this type of lens surgery is the same as that for eyes without a compromised zonule: to remove the contents of the capsular bag through a CCCcontinuous curvilinear capsulectomy and replace the contents with a foldable IOL.intraocular lens
