In the early 1980s, Danièle Aron-Rosa and colleagues introduced the neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG laser) for posterior capsulotomy. [7] In 1985, Thomas Mazzocco developed and implanted the first foldable IOL, and Graham Barrett and associates pioneered the use of silicone, acrylic, and hydrogel foldable lenses. [ 7 ]
Precision Pulse Capsulotomy is a non laser capsulotomy procedure performed using a device with a soft collapsible tip and circular Nitinol cutting element that is connected to a control console. The Nitinol tip can be collapsed sufficiently to pass through an incision of about 2.2 mm, after which it springs back into circular shape inside the ...
Capsulorhexis or capsulorrhexis, and the commonly used technique known as continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC), is a surgical technique used to remove the central anterior part of the capsule of the lens [1] from the eye during cataract surgery by shear and tensile forces.

The technique is most commonly used for lithotripsy of urinary calculi and the treatment of posterior capsulotomy of the lens. [3] When used in corneal surgery, picosecond and nanosecond disruptors are used on the lamellae of the corneal stroma, and the method may be preferable as it leaves the epithelium and Bowman's layer unharmed.

PCO is a common side-effect of many cataract surgeries and is easily treatable with a one-time laser capsulotomy procedure (see below). Accommodating IOLs interact with ciliary muscles and zonules, using hinges at both ends to "latch on" and move forward and backward inside the eye using the same nerves and musculature as normal accommodation ...
