Abstract

Kelman invented phacoemulsification in 1967. Safety of the technique and its global acceptance increased only after the publication of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) by Gimbel and Newman in 1991. Premium intra-ocular lenses need perfect centration to perform optimally and to reduce post-operative complains of glare, halos and visual disturbances. To have good centration of IOL, the only controllable factor by the surgeon is perfect CCC. But it is almost impossible to have a perfect rhexis every time, either due to the character of the capsule, lens or human error. This course will not only highlight how to achieve the perfect CCC manually but also with the use of various devices like zepto capsulotomy system and femtosecond laser. We will also train the attendees on how to retrieve the runaway rhexis and to perform a perfect phaco-emulsification in presence of an incomplete CCC.
