Two-incision push-pull capsulorhexis for pediatric cataract surgery.
Pediatric capsulorhexis is a challenging surgical technique because of the elasticity of the pediatric anterior capsule. This technique of manual capsulorhexis allows reliable and reproducible results for the size and centration of anterior and posterior capsulorhexes in pediatric cases. The technique is a modification of a previously reported method.
