Aim:To describe a new technique of suturing a tear in the anterior capsulorhexis.Methods:Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC)with lens removal was done in five fresh cadaver eyes.The diameter of the CCC was measured with a calliper.Using the same calliper a tear of the CCC was created while opening the calliper’ s arms.The distance between the calliper’ s arms needed to tear the CCC was documented.Using 9-0 Ethilon 9011,CS 160-6 sutures in two eyes,9-0 Prolene,D-8229,CTC-6L sutures in two eyes,and 10-0 Prolene,9090,CTC-6 suture in one eye,the tears were sutured.A tear in the CCC was created again in the same way as the first tear.The distance between the calliper’ s arms needed to tear the CCC was documented again.Results:Suturing of the tear restored some of the strength/elasticity of the CCC.Better results were found while using the 9-0 Prolene,D-8229,CTC-6L sutures than with the two others sutures.Conclusions:Suturing of a broken CCC can restore at least some of the strength/elasticity of the CCC.This can be important before intraocular lens(IOL)implantation for the safety of the implantation or after the implantation to ensure proper fixation of the IOL.
