Dr. Waltz focused his talk on Zepto (Mynosys) because it is the only device FDA-approved in the U.S., but there are other automated capsulotomy devices. Studies have shown a Zep- to-created capsulotomy has a stronger, more tear-resistant edge when compared to femtosecond laser-created and manual capsulo- tomies. Zepto has also been asso- ciated with a reduced PCO rate, which Dr. Waltz said was "totally continued on page 4 continued on page 3 Dr. Holland presents Dr. Donnenfeld (left) with the Steinert Refractive Lecture award. unexpected" and could be due to "markedly reduced fibrosis inside the capsule." Five-year data, Dr. Waltz said, suggests that with less intracapsular fibrosis you could have less phimosis long-term. With these, Dr. Waltz said there "might be some hidden ben- efits to automated capsulotomies." Nuclear disassembly with miLOOP (Carl Zeiss Meditec) can have refractive benefits, said Sean Ianchulev, MD, New York. Dr. Ianchulev described research that suggests the cen- tripetal fragmentation that avoids stretching the capsular bag (unlike traditional centrifugal phaco-chop techniques) impacts effective lens position. This benefit is in addi- tion to the reduced phaco energy delivered to the eye for nuclear disassembly. In terms of innovation of premium lenses, Robert Maloney, MD, Los Angeles, highlighted the Light Adjustable Lens (RxSight).
