The present article describes a novel surgical technique of a primary mini-capsulorhexis in midperiphery to minimize surgical complications in white intumescent cataracts. Patients with white mature cataracts with a convex anterior capsule or swollen lens fibers were selected. An initial puncture was made 3-4 mm away from the center, in the midperipheral anterior capsule, with a conventional cystitome.

- This article reviews the 1-year results of a new intra-ocular implant called "Glauco-Claw" designed for patients with refractory chronic angle-closure glaucoma (ACG).
- The implant, made of polymethylmethacrylate, has a unique design that helps to prevent the reformation of goniosynechiae by tucking the peripheral iris into its claws, allowing for better eye pressure control.
- In a study involving five patients, all achieved and maintained targeted intra-ocular pressure without significant complications, with two patients not needing any anti-glaucoma medication.
We describe use of an oval capsulorhexis rather than the conventional circular capsulorhexis for phacoemulsification in posterior polar cataract with preexisting posterior capsule rupture. An oval capsulorhexis minimizes the turbulence in the capsular bag by increasing the area available for efflux of fluid. It also enables end-to-end nuclear sculpting, removal of the nuclear fragment from the bag, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and vitrectomy without stretching the capsular bag.
