AIM: To explore the clinical effects of high frequency electrical capsulotomy in maturation period cataract surgery.

METHODS: A total of 68 cases of maturation period cataract were selected and underwent the surgery of continuous circular capsulorhexis using the high frequency electrical capsulotomy.

RESULTS: The success rate was 91% in 68 cases with the high frequency electrical capsulotomy.

CONCLUSION: The high frequency electrical capsulotomy in maturation period cataract surgery has significant advantages and brilliant clinical values.
