  • Title: Capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification, and posterior chamber lens placement following iridocyclectomy.
    Author: Lindquist TD.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1992 Jan; 23(1):44-6. PubMed ID: 1574267.
    Abstract:
    Two patients developed cataract following iridocyclectomy for iris melanoma invading the angle. Although several clock hours of zonular fibers had been surgically resected, the use of a continuous, circular capsulorhexis followed by phacoemulsification maintained the integrity of the anterior capsular margin and allowed for stable "in-the-bag" placement of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL). Continuous, circular capsulorhexis is the optimal anterior capsulectomy procedure, minimizing the incidence of radial tears and the risk of subsequent PC-IOL decentration.
