Centration of capsulorrhexis an important part of cataract surgery

When performing cataract surgery, the capsulorrhexis is one of the most critical steps because it allows safe access to remove the nucleus and cortex and long-term stability for holding the IOL. A well-centered capsulorrhexis allows us to place the IOL in the center of the patient’s visual axis or pupillary axis, which can improve the performance of multifocal, extended depth of focus and even toric IOLs.
The central visual axis is not typically aligned with the center of the cornea or limbus. In addition, the pupil centration can change depending (Read more...)
