Disease relevance of Capsulorhexis

• Anterior capsular staining with trypan blue for capsulorhexis in mature and hypermature cataracts. A preliminary study [1].

High impact information on Capsulorhexis

• INTERVENTIONS: Standard surgical procedure comprised an anterior capsulorrhexis, lens material aspiration via two side-port incisions, temporal tunnel incision, and multifocal IOL (SA40-N; Allergan, Irvine, CA) implantation in all eyes [2].
• CONCLUSIONS: Capsular bag distention syndrome includes unexpected myopia and poor UCVA after cataract surgery with lens implantation in cases involving a continuous capsulorhexis [3].
• Incidence of PAS after capsulorhexis [4].
• OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and biocompatibility of brilliant blue G (BBG) for capsular visualization for continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis [5].
• RESULTS: Based on our scoring system, the lowest effective concentrations for capsulorhexis were ICG 0.25%, MB 0.10%, GV 0.01%, TB 0.10%, and FS 1.25% [6].

Anatomical context of Capsulorhexis

• Lens epithelial cells from rabbit capsulorhexis samples were studied by LM and TEM following exposure to Provisc (sodium hyaluronate 1.0%) or Viscoat ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) [7].
• RESULTS: The mean anterior chamber depth after capsulorhexis was significantly greater in the Healon GV than in the Healon group (P = .003) [8].
• Permeability across the blood-aqueous barrier to fluorescein was estimated fluorophotometrically in pseudophakic eyes for which a continuous circular capsulorhexis was performed [9].

Associations of Capsulorhexis with chemical compounds

• A 3-step technique for staining the anterior lens capsule was developed to optimize the use of a capsule dye (trypan blue or indocyanine green) during capsulorhexis [10].
• The transition was motivated by the suspicion that the PMMA haptics would maintain the capsulorhexis opening better and reduce the need for an anterior capsulotomy [11].
• Trypan blue mixed with sodium hyaluronate for capsulorhexis [12].
• Fluorescein-stained capsulorhexis [13].
• CONCLUSION: Posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with optic capture of the heparin-coated IOL appeared to successfully prevent secondary opacification of the visual axis in pediatric cataract cases [14].

Gene context of Capsulorhexis

• Removal of lens epithelial cells and the effect on capsulorhexis size [15].
• Dye-enhanced cataract surgery. Part 1: anterior capsule staining for capsulorhexis in advanced/white cataract [16].
• With an incomplete capsulorhexis or a jagged-edged capsulotomy, malpositioning was not uncommon [17].
• Capsulorrhexis in vivo, which reduced endogenous lens electric fields, significantly increased LEC growth [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Capsulorhexis

• Using 0.1 mL of trypan blue 0.1% to stain the anterior capsule in 30 patients with a mature cataract enabled us to visualize the capsulorhexis during phacoemulsification [19].
• Cataract surgery in children with capsulorhexis of anterior and posterior capsules and heparin-surface-modified intraocular lenses [20].
• PURPOSE: To assess the cellular reaction on the anterior surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted by phacoemulsification with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) or by extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with a linear capsulotomy [21].
• High magnification, sodium hyaluronate, and a Utrata capsulorhexis forceps were used to perform continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) [22].
• The cataract surgery included capsulorhexis of the anterior and the posterior capsule, anterior vitrectomy in some eyes, and implantation of a heparin surface modified (HSM) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOL into the capsular bag [23].
