Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a novel capsulorhexis system.SettingMechatronics Laboratory, University of Erciyes and Kayseri Maya Eye Hospital.DesignA 3D model was created and simulations were conducted to develop a new device which was designed, fabricated and tested for continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). The name of this system is the electro-mechanical capsulorhexis system (EMCS).MethodsThe 3D model was created by using a commercial design software and a 3D printer was used to fabricate the EMCS Finite element analysis and geometrical relation tests of the EMCS for different sized lenses were performed.ResultsThe results show that the EMCS is a perfect solution for capsulorhexis surgeries, without mechanical or geometrical problems.ConclusionsThe EMCS can open the anterior lens capsule more easily and effectively than manual CCC applications and needs less experience.
Highlights
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cataract, which is one of the most important reasons for sight loss, is an eye disease and it causes the natural lens within the eye to lose transparency

Summary
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cataract, which is one of the most important reasons for sight loss, is an eye disease and it causes the natural lens within the eye to lose transparency. Methods: The 3D model was created by using a commercial design software and a 3D printer was used to fabricate the EMCS Finite element analysis and geometrical relation tests of the EMCS for different sized lenses were performed. Conclusions: The EMCS can open the anterior lens capsule more and effectively than manual CCC applications and needs less experience.
