Lens capsules showing severity of a capsular-tag based on tag-area and SEM images of capsule edge morphology. (A,B) Complete laser-cut with macroadhesion. (C,D) Incomplete laser-cut with macroadhesions. (E,F) Non-continuous/irregular laser-cut showing worst tag-area. (G,H) High magnification (× 1000) SEM images of capsule-edge. The white arrow highlights the (G) small-tag and (H) big-tag respectively. The grey arrow shows the (G) relatively smooth and (H) rough capsule edge, seen with 150% and 90% energy settings, respectively.
