J Cataract Refract Surg. 2013 Dec;39(12):1796-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jcrs.2013.09.009.

Abstract

We describe a capsulotomy technique to maintain the anterior chamber and pull the capsule disk gently centrally to separate the free edge from the surrounding peripheral capsule and to confirm there is a continuous 360-degree cut with a free disk.
