  • Title: Anterior capsulectomy using an ordinary phacoemulsification tip (phaco-capsulectomy).
    Author: Ayaki M.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1994 Jun; 25(6):403-5. PubMed ID: 8090425.
    Abstract:
    I performed an anterior capsulectomy in six eyes using an ordinary phacoemulsification (phaco) tip. The technique, which involves inserting a beveled-down phaco tip directly into the lens, created smooth and tear-free capsular openings. Although the procedure needs to be refined, I believe a phaco tip can be used effectively and easily to remove the anterior capsule.
