The mean age of the participants was 73\u2009\u00b1\u20099.8 years. The average total energy used was 118.3\u2009mJ. The average pretreatment best-corrected visual acuity was 0.45\u2009\u00b1\u20090.47 logMAR scale, which improved to 0.40\u2009\u00b1\u20090.53 following treatment. In 84% of cases, the optical axis was clear at the end of the intervention. Three patients reported subjective floaters, and two eyes required revision procedures. We did not observe any complications after the treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The continuous ascending linear pattern posterior capsulotomy technique offers several potential advantages, including increased efficiency with lower energy usage, a larger optical opening, fewer capsule remnants, and reduced subjective complaints.
