This 4-mm capsulorrhexis has an area of about 12.5 mm 2, but if we enlarge the capsulorrhexis to 5 mm, then the area increases to 19.6 mm 2, which is an increase of 56% (Figure 1).

Following capsulorrhexis, samples were sent to the laboratory for histological analysis. Frozen sections (8 μm) were prepared and examined with the light microscope.

In rare cases, a manual capsulorrhexis may be required, and anterior capsular tags may be found and lead to anterior capsular tears (0.31%).

The capsular dehiscence extended while injecting healon. Vision blue aided uneventful capsulorrhexis differentiating it from the TE edge. During left eye surgery, the capsulorrhexis was performed ...
