Silicone intraocular lens implants and circular anterior capsulotomy (capsulorhexis).
Anterior circular capsulorhexis is used to guarantee accurate placement and stability for the flexible silicone intraocular lens. The smaller wound needed for this procedure allows for immediate postoperative bending by the patient. The visual results achieved with this implant are excellent.
