There was no statistically significant difference in the MRSE with either IOL type, or overall. The overall percentage of eyes with residual refractive cylinder ≤ 0.50 D was significantly higher in the PPC group (89% vs. 79% in the manual group, p = 0.03), primarily driven by results with the toric IOL. Best corrected distance visual acuity was not statistically significantly different by group. Capsulotomy-related complications were lower in the PPC group relative to the manual group (4.1% vs. 6.6%), but this result was not statistically significant (p = 0.38).Conclusion: Significantly more eyes had refractive cylinder ≤ 0.50 D in the PPC group. For all other measures, the automated PPC device produced clinical results equivalent to those achieved with a manual capsulorhexis.Keywords: precision pulse capsulotomy, cataract surgery, capsulorhexis, capsulotomyGundersen KGPotvin RDove Medical Pressarticleprecision pulse capsulotomycataract surgerycapsulorhexiscapsulotomyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4533-4540 (2020)
