Abstract Details

Purpose:

Radial tears in the capsulorhexis increase the rate surgical complications.Zepto precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) technology (Mynosys - Fremont, California) is compared with manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) outcomes by the reproducibility, uniformity, circularity and diameter size.

Setting:

C.M.A. Centro Microchirurgia Ambulatoriale Via Donizetti 24 Monza Italy

Methods:

A novel capsulotomy method and technology called PPC and trade named Zepto was adopted on 111 consecutive eyes with cataract .

Results:

The ACD was 2.74 ± 0.35. ECC preop was 2262 ± 407 and 4 months postop 2181 ± 380 with a 3.58% lost cells. We experienced 8 anterior radial tears in the first 25 cases.

Conclusions:

The Zepto PPC technology creates a precise circular anterior capsulotomy. This technique allows cataract surgeons to reduce the rate of capsular tears
