Claim 0:
1. A capsulorhexis device configured to be inserted into an incision site of a cornea to make an incision in a crystalline lens capsule surrounding a crystalline lens, the capsulorhexis device comprising:
a loop having elasticity and conductivity;
a moving member having one end fixed and coupled to the loop;
an insertion guide configured so that, while the incision is being made in the crystalline lens capsule, a front end thereof is inserted into the incision site of the cornea; and
a housing having one end coupled to a rear end of the insertion guide,
wherein the loop is housed in the housing and, to make the incision in the crystalline lens capsule, slides in the housing together with the moving member to pass through the insertion guide and be deployed into an anterior chamber of the eye;
wherein the loop is configured to be placed on a virtual plane same as the moving member when housed in the housing, and at least a portion of the loop deviates from the virtual plane while the loop slides together with the moving member and passes through the insertion guide;
wherein the loop is deployed into a circular shape and located on the virtual plane after passing through the insertion guide; and
wherein the moving member is configured to linearly move on the virtual plane, on which the moving member is housed in the housing, while the loop slides, the moving member being housed in the housing on the plane.
