title: [Diagonal incision in capsulotomy for extracapsular cataract extraction].
abstract: From previous experience with all current surgery methods and kinds of anterior capsulotomy as well as of 6-year follow-up observation we developed our own diagonally-shaped (linear) capsulotomy technique. This technique was used in more than 500 successive extracapsular cataract extractions, followed by implantation of a posterior chamber lens. Both, intraoperative advantages and postoperative positive experience, will now be described.
