We describe a technique of pars plicata manual posterior capsulorhexis performed after implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in pediatric cataract surgery. The technique can be used to create a posterior capsulectomy of a desirable size in a controlled manner to avoid destabilization of the IOL. It can be applied selectively in cases of pediatric cataract surgery.
