What is another word for Capsulotomy?
Pronunciation: [kˌapsuːlˈɒtəmɪ] (IPA) 
Capsulotomy, the surgical procedure used in ophthalmology to create a hole in the outer layer of the eye's natural lens, may be referred to by other names in medical circles. Some synonyms for Capsulotomy include Lens Capsule Incision, Capsulectomy, Capsulolysis, and Pre-capsulotomy. The aim of these procedures is to improve vision by treating cataracts, which cloud the natural lens and severely limit vision. Capsular Tonometry, a more recent technique, is also used to measure the pressure within the capsule of the eye, which helps diagnose and manage cataract progression. All of these procedures, whether they occur through lasers or other surgical techniques, aim to restore or improve vision in patients experiencing cataracts.
