Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of the Anterior Capsulotomy Edge: A Comparative Study between Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Capsulotomy and Manual Capsulorhexis

Figure 2

High-magnification SEM images of the capsulotomy cutting edge. SEM images show a smooth and regular surface without cut surface irregularity in the manual CCC group (a). SEM images show aberrant laser-induced perforation near the capsule edge in Group 2 (b). SEM images show postage-stamp perforations with several bumps and notches of variable width that were spread across the capsule edge in both Group 2 (c) and Group 3 (d). Original magnification: 2000x.
