Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorhexis in Cataract Surgery Using a Modified 3-Bend Cystotome

Table 2

Characteristics of eyes in the 3-bend and 2-bend groups during and after surgery.

Demographics	3-bend; cystotome	2-bend; cystotome	value
CT of CCC (second)	5.6 ± 2.9	8.9 ± 4.5	<0.001
Times of VAS	0.3 ± 0.2	1.4 ± 0.6	<0.001
CCC success rate (%)	98.7%	90.1%	0.001
CE incidence (%)	1.3%	9.2%	0.002
PBCVA 5/10 (1 d)	76.5%	70.4%	0.24
PBCVA 5/10 (3 m)	88.2%	88.7%	0.89

CT of CCC = completion time of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis; times of VAS = times of viscoelastic agent supplement; CE = corneal edema; PBCVA = postoperative best corrected visual acuity.
