title: Forceps-puncture continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.
abstract: Forceps-puncture continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis uses a single instrument. Using less instrumentation during the procedure decreases the chance of inadvertent damage to ocular structures and reduces surgical time. Complications related to this technique are rare.
