This was  conducted at the Busan Sungmo Eye Hospital (Busan, Republic of Korea) to assess the performance of the PPC device through a 2.2-mm clear corneal incision width, followed by the phacoemulsification technique and intracapsular intraocular lens fixation. The main outcome measurement was the anterior capsulotomy performance of the PPC device and the development of intraoperative complications. At postoperative 2 months, visual acuity, endothelial cell count, and refractive error were measured.Results: No cases of anterior capsule tears or tags occurred. All 43 eyes received circular, 360-degree, free-floating, and appropriately sized anterior capsulotomies. During 2 months of follow up, no postoperative complications occurred in association with the PPC device.Conclusion: The PPC device facilitated the creation of a precise, round, appropriately sized anterior capsulotomy in challenging cataract surgery cases. Further investigations are required to understand the long-term safety and efficacy of the PPC device.Keywords: Zepto, capsulorhexis, cataract, cataract extraction, phacoemulsificationPark MJBang CWHan SYDove Medical PressarticleZeptocapsulorhexiscataractcataract extractionphacoemulsificationOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1361-1368 (2019)
