1.	Cataract (Cataracts) 06/01/1996 - "Capsulotomy using a cystotome and continuous tear capsulorhexis has dramatically improved the quality of modern cataract surgery. " 07/01/2007 - "Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is the gold standard for lens removal and continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis is one of the important first steps during the procedure. " 02/01/2006 - "Manual capsulorhexis still remains a gold standard for the successful outcome of pediatric cataract surgery. " 05/11/2020 - "Conclusions: Posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with intraocular lens optic capture is a safe and effective technique to treat pediatric cataract. " 01/01/2019 - "The closed anterior chamber air bubble technique for capsulorhexis is a novel, safe, and effective technique to prevent AFS in white and intumescent cataracts. "
2.	Capsule Opacification 03/01/2005 - "A combination of primary capsulorhexis with "dry" anterior vitrectomy is most effective in the prevention of secondary cataract." 10/01/2011 - "The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of capsulorhexis diameter, localization and shape on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) development after cataract extraction with phacoemulsification. " 04/01/2022 - "This article reviews the history and technique of primary posterior capsulorhexis with emphasis on anterior hyaloid membrane preservation and combined posterior optic capture of intraocular lenses into Berger's space for the purpose of lens stability and secondary cataract elimination among other potential advantages. " 12/01/2019 - "To evaluate the posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and YAG laser capsulotomy (YAG-LCT) rates with a plate-haptic acrylic micro-incision intraocular lens (IOL) and the impact of primary posterior capsulorhexis. " 03/01/2014 - "To evaluate and compare the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsulotomy and manual anterior capsulorhexis on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) development. "
3.	Rupture 03/01/2021 - "This systematic literature review indicates that VRS seems to be most helpful in reducing the rate of posterior capsular rupture or errant curvilinear capsulorrhexis and had limited evidence in reducing the rate of other complications." 05/01/2003 - "If possible, performing the capsulorhexis under controlled intraocular pressure conditions prior to trephination may help to minimise the risk of capsular ruptures. " 09/01/2021 - "The rupture force was proportional to the stretching velocity, capsulorhexis dimension and retractor width, while the age showed the opposite trend. " 01/01/2021 - "In all cases, the resulting capsulorhexis had a regular round shape with a smooth edge, without radial ruptures. " 01/01/2021 - "Eight cases (2.3%) had a runaway capsulorhexis, while 18 cases (5.3%) had iatrogenic posterior capsular rupture. "

Glaucoma 11/01/2013 - "  Combined phacoemulsification-IOL implantation-posterior capsulorhexis-anterior vitrectomy surgery is a safe and effective method for treating patients with phakic malignant glaucoma." 12/01/2018 - "We present a retrospective case series on the use of posterior capsulorrhexis with core vitrectomy by an anterior approach (CAV) at the time of cataract extraction with or without glaucoma surgery as a prophylactic measure for the prevention of AM in CNAG. " 11/01/2013 - "  To describe sequential phacoemulsification-intraocular lens (IOL) implantation-posterior capsulorhexis-anterior vitrectomy in the management of phakic malignant glaucoma. " 11/01/2013 - "Phacoemulsification combined with posterior capsulorhexis and anterior vitrectomy in the management of malignant glaucoma in phakic eyes." 07/01/1998 - "Capsulorhexis in eyes with phacomorphic glaucoma."
5.	Aphakia 01/01/2013 - "In conclusion, RFD secondary capsulorhexis technique has 70% success rate in the capsular bag reestablishment and in-the-bag IOL implantation in pediatric aphakic eyes, particularly effective in cases with a doughnut-like, extensively proliferative Soemmering ring." 01/01/2018 - "A large-optic and rigid IOL in the sulcus is a feasible alternative when a sulcus-based IOL is considered for aphakic eyes with an oversized residual capsulorhexis. " 01/01/2013 - "In-the-bag intraocular lens placement via secondary capsulorhexis with radiofrequency diathermy in pediatric aphakic eyes." 01/01/2013 - "We conducted a prospective case series study to investigate the success rate and clinical outcomes of capsular bag reestablishment and in-the-bag IOL implantation via secondary capsulorhexis with radiofrequency diathermy (RFD) in pediatric aphakic eyes, in which twenty-two consecutive aphakic pediatric patients (43 aphakic eyes) enrolled in the Childhood Cataract Program of the Chinese Ministry of Health were included. " 01/01/2011 - "A cross section case-control study contained 28 cases (56 eyes) of bilateral aphakia (aphakic group) due to congenital cataract surgery combining with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and with anterior vitrectomy during 2-6 months after birth.
