Claim 9:
10. 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, which is a nozzle, 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, can slide 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;
wherein an outer surface of the insertion guide is formed in a long tubular shape having a left-right symmetrical cross-section; and
wherein an internal cavity of the insertion guide is formed to be left-right symmetrical about an axis along which the loop slides and formed to have a slope at a predetermined angle with respect to the virtual plane.
