Alternative management of capsulorhexis phimosis using vitrector trimming

A recent Consultation Section1 outlined several approaches for managing capsulorhexis phimosis, including neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser anterior capsulotomy, radiofrequency capsulotomy needle use, microscissors dissection, femtosecond laser use, and high-frequency diathermy cutting. Vitrector trimming of the fibrotic anterior capsule is another useful technique to surgically manage capsule contraction syndrome. First reported by Wilson et  al.2 in 1994 and later described by Yeh et al. in 2002,3 vitrector trimming offers an additional management option for cases similar to that presented in the Consultation Section1
