Pediatric cataract surgery is challenging, with multiple differences from cataract surgery in adults; however, an ideal capsulorhexis is the major prerequisite for both. Capsulorhexis in children is more difficult due to the more elastic nature of the anterior capsule. I describe a technique for anterior and posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexes in pediatric cataract surgery using 4 arcuate incisions. The results in 10 eyes of 10 children are presented.
