Abstract
Primary opening of the posterior capsule (primary continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, PCCC) during cataract surgery is a safe and efficient procedure to prevent formation of an aftercataract. When combined with buttonholing of the optic in the posterior capsule opening no unintended rotation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) can occur postoperatively. This article shows that PCCC can be safely performed even in difficult situations.
