A new method of performing continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis is described. It involves the use of a fine point of suction applied to the torn flap of anterior capsule through a fine cannula. This technique offers excellent control of the tear and requires no viscoelastic to maintain the anterior chamber. Only a few inexpensive hand instruments are needed to perform the technique, which is easily learned.
