1.	Cataract (Cataracts) 03/01/2005 - "A combination of primary capsulorhexis with "dry" anterior vitrectomy is most effective in the prevention of secondary cataract." 06/01/1996 - "Capsulotomy using a cystotome and continuous tear capsulorhexis has dramatically improved the quality of modern cataract surgery" 07/01/2007 - "PURPOSE: 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 - "RECENT FINDINGS: Manual capsulorhexis still remains a gold standard for the successful outcome of pediatric cataract surgery" 05/01/2006 - "CONCLUSION: Optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens is safe and effective in the treatment of pediatric cataract to posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis especially in the prevention of secondary opacification from the visual axis."

2.	Rupture 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" 08/01/2006 - "An increase in capsulorhexis diameter increased the resistance to rupture." 08/01/2006 - "Capsulorhexis tear or posterior capsule rupture that necessitated conversion to extracapsular cataract extraction occurred in 3 eyes (2.0%) in the retrobulbar group and in 1 eye (0.6%) in the topical group" 07/01/2005 - "Intraoperatively, peripheral extension of capsulorhexis, intraoperative posterior capsule opacification (PCO; plaque), and serious complications (eg, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss) were noted" 08/01/2003 - "The time for performing the circular continuous capsulorrhexis (CCC), the number of radial tears of anterior capsule, the number of the rupture of capsular bag and the incidence of IOL in-the-bag fixation during the operation were recorded" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
3.	Syndrome 08/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: Removal of anterior subcapsular LECs by aspiration helped maintain the size of the capsulorhexis opening and thus can help prevent capsule contraction syndrome." 04/01/2004 - "We present 4 cases of anterior capsule contraction syndrome in which progressive shrinkage of the anterior capsulorhexis developed after uneventful phacoemulsification" 10/01/2003 - "BACKGROUND: Postoperative capsular block syndrome (CBS) is a unique and rare complication of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC)" 07/01/2002 - "This surgical procedure could solve severe capsular contraction syndrome occurring after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation." 07/01/2000 - "Capsular block syndrome (CBS) has been recognized as a cause of immediate or delayed postoperative accumulation of fluid behind an intraocular lens/capsulorhexis complex" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
4.	Contracture 05/01/2004 - "After 7 months for the right eye and 3 Months for the left eye, the patient presented with dramatically reduced vision, caused by a severe capsulorhexis contracture" 12/01/1999 - "lenses with larger holes have a significantly higher posterior capsule opacification and more anterior capsulorhexis contracture, although the IOL decentring is less with these lenses." 07/01/1994 - "We report two cases of capsulorhexis contracture and eventual complete closure after phacoemulsification surgery" 07/01/1994 - "Capsulorhexis contracture in phacoemulsification surgery." 12/01/2004 - "It is proposed that a common aetiology may underlie both posterior capsule opacification and capsulorhexis contracture in myotonic dystrophy cases."

5.	Fibrosis (Cirrhosis) 08/01/2008 - "PURPOSE: To determine whether a capsular bending ring (CBR) with a rectangular cross-section and sharp edges moves the barrier to the very equator and avoids contact between the capsulorhexis and optic to prevent posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and anterior capsule fibrosis" 06/01/2008 - "Another sub-series investigated the option of further reducing capsular fibrosis by creating an anterior capsulorhexis larger than the optic" 04/01/2007 - "Routine posterior optic buttonholing through a well-centered posterior capsulorhexis opening is a promising alternative because it precludes access of lens epithelial cells behind the optic while at the same time counteracting fibrosis of the anterior capsule" 12/01/2006 - "CONCLUSION: The most likely etiology was the development of anterior capsule fibrosis, sometimes exacerbated by a small capsulorhexis, which could cause the IOL to move posteriorly, resulting in a hyperopic change in refraction" 12/01/2006 - "Anterior capsule polishing significantly decreased capsule fibrosis and is recommended when posterior capsulorhexis and optic buttonholing are combined."
