Precision pulse capsulotomy in phacoemulsification: Clinical experience in Indian eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the surgical outcome of precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) in phacoemulsification surgery.

Methods

One hundred twenty-three eyes of 99 consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification with PPC through a 2.8 mm clear corneal incision were prospectively studied at a tertiary care centre. The size, shape of capsulotomy and intraoperative capsulotomy, and surgery-related complications were noted. Visual outcome, IOL stability, and signs of capsular opacification/contraction were evaluated at 3 and 6 months.

Results

The mean age of patients was 49.5 ± 7.77 years. Complete, circular capsulotomy averaging 5.5 mm diameter was achieved in 117 of 123 eyes. In seven eyes, we experienced complications like capsulorhexis tear (n = 6) and inadvertent iris c
