Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) traditionally requires viscoelastics.
  • Viscoelastic use can add complexity and cost to cataract surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel forceps design for performing CCC without viscoelastics.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the new instrument in preventing anterior chamber collapse.

Main Methods:

  • A new model of forceps with an integrated bent-needle cystotome was utilized.
  • CCC was performed using the new forceps in 198 eyes without viscoelastic agents.

Main Results:

  • The novel forceps enabled CCC without the need for viscoelastics.

  • The instrument effectively grasped tissue and prevented anterior chamber collapse during the procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • This new forceps design offers a viable alternative for performing CCC without viscoelastics.
    • The instrument simplifies the surgical procedure and maintains anterior chamber stability.
