    This study presents a novel anterior capsulorhexis technique for intumescent cataracts, managing high intralenticular pressure. The method ensures controlled capsulorhexis, improving surgical outcomes in challenging cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Intumescent cataract presents challenges due to high intralenticular pressure and absence of red reflex.
    • Standard anterior capsulorhexis can be difficult in these conditions, increasing risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified anterior capsulorhexis technique for managing intumescent cataracts with high intralenticular pressure.
    • To ensure a controlled and safe capsulorhexis in eyes with intumescent cataract.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing high magnification and noncoaxial oblique illumination for initial steps.
    • Employing viscoelastic agents to fill the anterior chamber and control intralenticular pressure.
    • Completing capsulorhexis with capsule forceps and an endoilluminator for oblique illumination after lens decompression.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for effective decompression of the intumescent lens.
    • Controlled anterior capsulorhexis was achieved even with high intralenticular pressure.
    • The method facilitates safe surgical manipulation in eyes with intumescent cataract.

    Conclusions:

    • This modified anterior capsulorhexis technique is effective for intumescent cataracts.
    • It provides a controlled approach to managing high intralenticular pressure during cataract surgery.
    • The technique enhances safety and predictability in challenging cataract cases.
