Vacuum capsulorhexis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1995
A new method of performing continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis is described. It involves the use of a fine point of suction applied to the torn flap of anterior capsule through a fine cannula. This technique offers excellent control of the tear and requires no viscoelastic to maintain the anterior chamber.

Capsulorhexis in intumescent cataract

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1999
This technique of anterior capsulorhexis is for use in eyes with high intralenticular pressure and absence of red reflex as encountered in intumescent cataract. The initial steps of fashioning the anterior capsular flap and lens decompression are done under the microscope's high magnification and noncoaxial oblique illumination.

Suction posterior capsulorhexis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1999
A technique for creating a posterior capsulorhexis during phacoemulsification is presented. It can be used in cases with posterior capsule tears or opacities. The free edge of the capsule is grasped with suction using a 2 mL syringe and a 27 gauge Rycroft cannula introduced via the paracentesis.

Postoperative complications of capsulorhexis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1993
Capsulorhexis has become the preferred method of anterior capsulotomy, and untoward effects have not been frequently noted. Nevertheless, distinct complications of continuous tear anterior capsulotomy are now recognized. These include capsular bag hyperdistention, shrinkage of the anterior capsule opening with visual loss and/or intraocular lens ...

Capsulorhexis-related lacteocrumenasia

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1997
Three patients who presented with a milky fluid in the space between the posterior surface of implanted intraocular lens (IOL) and the anterior surface of the distended posterior capsular bag are described. The patients were followed and were noted to have changes in their benign course after several years.

Direct puncture capsulorhexis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2005
I describe a simple technique for performing capsulorhexis without viscoelastic material or expensive instruments. A slightly barbed, bent, 30-gauge needle is used to directly puncture clear cornea and create a capsulorhexis without the need for a groove or stab incision. Hydrodissection is carried out with the attached 1 cc syringe (tuberculin) filled

New disposable cystotome for capsulorhexis

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1989
Circular tear capsulotomy, or capsulorhexis, is becoming an increasingly popular method of anterior capsulotomy. We describe a new cystotome with a simple tip modification which is useful for performing a circular tear capsulotomy. The cystotome is a 27 gauge disposable device that is similar to a conventional cystotome used for a can-opener-type ...

Capsulorhexis in eyes with phacomorphic glaucoma

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998
Phacomorphic glaucoma is a common condition in developing countries. Extracapsular cataract extraction with a sulcus-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) is associated with increased intraoperative and postoperative complications in this condition. We developed a technique that allows a safe, controlled capsulorhexis in the presence of the shallow anterior ...

[Capsulorhexis].

Oftalmologia (Bucharest, Romania : 1990), 2005
The continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) has paved the way for advancements in phacoemulsification by providing a tear-resistant opening in the anterior capsule. This article presents the advantages of the (CCC) and the management of challenging situations related to the (CCC).
