Abstract
The stretching capacity of the continuous circular capsulorhexis was studied in 30 human cadaver eyes. The capsulorhexis was found to have a remarkable stretching capacity, allowing safe nucleus delivery in planned extracapsular cataract extraction using hydroexpression. The difficulties encountered when trying to deliver the nucleus by external pressure to the sclera are discussed.Keywords
