Clinical Outcomes of Primary Posterior Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorhexis in Postvitrectomy Cataract Eyes

Figure 1

Illustration of posterior capsulotomy using capsular forceps from the cornea incision. (a) The central part of the posterior capsule was punctured with a 27-gauge needle. (b–f) Forceps were introduced through the main incision to grasp the peripheral edge of the fissure to create a well-centered and round PPCCC with a diameter of 4-5 mm in size. (g–i) A foldable acrylic one-piece IOL was injected into the anterior chamber using a cartage. We paid attention to keep the main body of the IOL above the anterior capsule in case that the IOL tilt or dislocate from the posterior opening. After that, a spatula was used to adjust and rotate the IOL into the capsular bag.
