Anterior capsulectomy and aspiration with a 25-gauge vitreous cutter, under irrigation with a 25-gauge cannula, through two side ports at the corneal limbus (A). Injector-preloaded acrylic intraocular lens implantation through a corneoscleral tunnel incision (B). Posterior capsulotomy, together with excision of white fibrous tissue of persistent fetal vasculature, by a vitreous cutter through a trocar at the pars plicata, under the irrigation by an infusion cannula inserted from a limbal side port (C).
