Zepto Precision Pulse Capsulotomy Complicated by Radial Tear of the Anterior Capsule: A Proposed Mechanism

Zepto Precision Pulsed Capsulotomy is an emerging technology aimed at providing a safer and more reproducible anterior capuslorhexis, with potential advantages in challenging cases. Initial reports suggest high safety and no complications reported so far. Here we report an unexpected complication. Following the pulse delivery phase on a routine cataract case, a radial tear of the anterior capsule was observed. Upon careful review of the surgery video, an air bubble was noted, at the precise clock-hour of the radial tear, trapped between the device wire and capsule.
