Purpose

Radial tears in the capsulorhexis increase the rate surgical complications.Zepto precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) technology (Mynosys - Fremont, California) is compared with manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) outcomes by the reproducibility, uniformity, circularity, diameter size and complications rate

Setting

Piovella Global Center for Ophthalmology, Monza, Italy

Methods

Methods:A novel capsulotomy method and technology called PPC and trade named Zepto was adopted on 457 consecutive eyes with cataract

Results

The ACD was 2.69 ± 0.43. ECC preop was 2365 ± 360 and 1 year postop 2214 ± 53 with a 2.46 % lost cells. We experienced 17 anterior radial tears during a difficult learning curve

Conclusion

The Zepto PPC technology creates a precise circular anterior capsulotomy. This technique allows cataract surgeons to reduce the rate of capsulorhexis and cataract surgery complications. Really helpfull for white mature cataract and small pupils
