Distribution of tears per vitrector anterior capsulotomy technique. Sixteen anterior capsule tears (7.7%) occurred during 208 pediatric cataract surgeries using the vitrector for the anterior capsulotomy; 56.3% of tears (9 of 16) occurred in patients 72 months of age or younger. These tears were not statistically attributable to any single year of life (P > .05).
