A new electro-mechanical capsulorhexis system (EMCS) was developed for cataract surgery. This novel device simplifies anterior lens capsule opening, proving more effective and requiring less surgeon experience than manual methods.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Devices
  • Mechatronics

Background:

  • Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) is a critical step in cataract surgery.
  • Manual CCC can be challenging, requiring significant surgeon skill and experience.
  • Existing methods may present mechanical or geometrical limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel electro-mechanical capsulorhexis system (EMCS).
  • To create a device that simplifies and enhances the capsulorhexis procedure.
  • To address limitations associated with manual CCC.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D model of the EMCS was designed using commercial software.
  • The EMCS device was fabricated using a 3D printer.
  • Finite element analysis and geometrical relation tests were performed for various lens sizes.
