Table 5 Subjective grading of the quality of capsulotomy.

From: Evaluation of femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsulotomy in the presence of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs)

Grading

Description

1—Poor

Incomplete laser-cut (≥ 10%) with macroadhesions (capsular tag/tags), resulting in very severe resistance to remove the capsule or Irregular laser-cut with significantly distorted capsular edge

2—Bad

Incomplete laser-cut (< 10%) with macroadhesions (capsular tag/tags), resulting in severe resistance to remove the capsule

3—Average

Complete laser-cut and capsule < 50% free with macroadhesions (capsular tag/tags), resulting in moderate resistance to remove the capsule

4—Fair

Complete laser-cut and capsule ≥ 50% but < 90% free with macroadhesions (capsular tag/tags), resulting in mild resistance to remove the capsule

5—Good

Complete laser-cut and capsule ≥ 50% but < 90% free with microadhesion/microadhesions, resulting in minimal resistance to remove the capsule

6—Excellent

Complete laser-cut and capsule ≥ 90% free, with no resistance to remove the capsule or Free-floating capsule
