title: Anterior capsulotomy created by radiofrequency endodiathermy and continuous curvilinear posterior capsulorhexis in a patient with intumescent cataract and primary capsular fibrosis.
abstract: A 62-year-old woman with intumescent cataract and primary posterior capsular fibrosis was operated on using two different techniques to create continuous curvilinear capsule openings in the same eye. The biomicroscopic appearance of the edge after continuous tear and radiofrequency endodiathermy capsulotomy were compared.
