Purpose. To investigate the structure and irregularity of the capsulotomy cutting edges created by two femtosecond (FS) laser platforms in comparison with manual continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) using environmental scanning electron microscopy (eSEM). Methods. Ten anterior capsulotomies were obtained using two diferent FS laser cataract platforms (LenSx, 肀 = 5, and Victus, 肀 = 5). In addition, ive manual CCC (肀 = 5) were obtained using a rhexis forceps. he specimens were imaged by eSEM (FEI Quanta 400, OR, USA). Objective metrics, which included the arithmetic mean deviatio
