    This study presents a straightforward method for capsulorhexis and nuclear hydrodissection. The technique avoids viscoelastics and specialized tools, simplifying anterior capsulectomy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Anterior capsulectomy is a crucial step in cataract surgery.
    • Capsulorhexis is increasingly preferred over other anterior capsulectomy methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simplified technique for performing capsulorhexis and nuclear hydrodissection.
    • To demonstrate a method that does not require viscoelastics or specialized instruments.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel, simple approach to capsulorhexis.
    • Integrated nuclear hydrodissection technique.
    • Elimination of viscoelastic materials and specialized equipment.

    Main Results:

    • Successful execution of capsulorhexis and nuclear hydrodissection using the described simple method.
