Hi, I am new to Ophthalmology. Can anyone tell me the difference between a continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis and primary posterior capsulorrhexis.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!
Kathleen

The first is performed on the anterior capsule of the lens and the second is done on the posterior lens capsule.

I love the detail of the eye given in the new CPT book I got!
