VT69 : CAPSULORHEXIS TECHNIQUES FOR WHITE CATARACTS”.

Dr.Sudhir Singh

The capsulorhexis is the most critical step in the modern cataract surgery. The capsulorhexis in various types of the white cataracts is the most challenging step. Failure to achieve an intact anterior capsule opening may result in posterior extension beyond the equator, resulting in complications such as zonules rupture, vitreous loss, a dropped nucleus, and posterior displacement of the IOL. In this video we would showcase the surgical techniques for achieving a successful capsulorhexis in white cataracts. The details are as follows

1. Three stage capsulorhexis in white intumescent cataract.

2. Capsulorhexis in white hyper mature subluxated cataract.

3. Capsulorhexis in white hyper mature morgagnian cataract by the needle capsulotome.

4. Capsulorhexis in white hyper mature morgagnian cataract by the capsulorhexis forceps

5. Capsulorhexis in white hyper mature with fibrosed capsule.
