Streamlined method for anchoring cataract surgery and intraocular lens centration on the patient's visual axis

I describe an intraoperative method for the consistent anchoring of the intraocular lens (IOL) and cataract surgery and on the patient's visual axis using coaxial microscope optics, surgeon-guided patient fixation, the precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) device (Zepto) and utilizing the first (and fourth) Purkinje images. During surgery using a microscope with coaxial lights and optics, the patient is instructed to fixate on a given microscope light while the surgeon looks through the corresponding coaxial eyepiece.
