52 consecutive patients with in-the-bag modified J-loop lenses had posterior capsulectomy performed with Neodymium:YAG Laser. 3 mm openings were made. There was a shift toward both myopia and hypermetropia following this procedure but only 5 shifted enough to warrant a change of glasses at the six months level whereas at the one month level the change was not significant enough in any of the patients to replace lenses fitted prior to YAG laser capsulectomy.

The intercapsular cataract extraction using the Anis Dry Technique offered the greatest protection to the corneal endothelium. This clinically manifested itself by a much clearer cornea the morning after surgery, as well as a much quieter eye. However intercapsular phacoemuslfication and intercapsular automated irrigation/aspiration likewise produced very good results with great protection to the endothelial cells of the cornea.
