Abstract

Apart from being important, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) technology is very difficult in nature. Also femtosecond continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (FCCC) which has shown more promising results is compared to the manually created methods. A surgeon is capable of visualizing the precise placement of the capsulorhexis prior to creation. A real time high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) that is used for locating the anterior capsule is discussed with diagram. Also capsule precision, its size, centration, effective lens position, capsule complications are discussed in detail. Various advances and advantages in the field of intraocular lens are outlined. Studies conducted to determine the outcome of the use of FCCC are summarized. A table showing the comparative study between the manual CCC methods is given.
