Anterior capsulectomy using an ordinary phacoemulsification tip (phaco-capsulectomy)

I performed an anterior capsulectomy in six eyes using an ordinary phacoemulsification (phaco) tip. The technique, which involves inserting a beveled-down phaco tip directly into the lens, created smooth and tear-free capsular openings. Although the procedure needs to be refined, I believe a phaco tip can be used effectively and easily to remove the anterior capsule.
