An ophthalmological device for intracapsular fragmentation of a lens nucleus of an eye , preparatory to emulsification and removal of the lens nucleus from the eye using a phaco handpiece tip , the ophthalmological device comprising: a laser source configured to generate a pulsed laser beam (L); a focusing optical module configured to make the pulsed laser beam (L) converge onto a focus (F) in the lens nucleus ; a scanner system configured to move the focus (F) to target locations in the lens nucleus ; and an electronic circuit configured to control the scanner system to move the focus (F) to intracapsular target locations on cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3) which extend from a posterior surface of the lens nucleus to an anterior surface of the lens nucleus for generating intracapsular tissue cuts for the fragmentation of the lens nucleus , wherein the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3) form a maximum of two intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) on any of the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3), a first cutting plane (CP1) and a second cutting plane (CP2) are arranged at a mutual distance larger than a diameter of the phaco handpiece tip , the diameter being in a range of 1 mm to 2mm, have an optical axis (z) of the lens nucleus running therebetween without intracapsular intersection, and the intracapsular tissue cuts generated on the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) divide the lens nucleus into three fragments, and the intracapsular tissue cut generated on a third cutting plane (CP3) forms intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) with the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) and subdivides each of the three fragments. a laser source configured to generate a pulsed laser beam (L); a focusing optical module configured to make the pulsed laser beam (L) converge onto a focus (F) in the lens nucleus ; a scanner system configured to move the focus (F) to target locations in the lens nucleus ; and an electronic circuit configured to control the scanner system to move the focus (F) to intracapsular target locations on cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3) which extend from a posterior surface of the lens nucleus to an anterior surface of the lens nucleus for generating intracapsular tissue cuts for the fragmentation of the lens nucleus , wherein the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3) form a maximum of two intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) on any of the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3), a first cutting plane (CP1) and a second cutting plane (CP2) are arranged at a mutual distance larger than a diameter of the phaco handpiece tip , the diameter being in a range of 1 mm to 2mm, have an optical axis (z) of the lens nucleus running therebetween without intracapsular intersection, and the intracapsular tissue cuts generated on the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) divide the lens nucleus into three fragments, and the intracapsular tissue cut generated on a third cutting plane (CP3) forms intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) with the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) and subdivides each of the three fragments. wherein the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3) form a maximum of two intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) on any of the cutting planes (CP1, CP2, CP3), a first cutting plane (CP1) and a second cutting plane (CP2) are arranged at a mutual distance larger than a diameter of the phaco handpiece tip , the diameter being in a range of 1 mm to 2mm, have an optical axis (z) of the lens nucleus running therebetween without intracapsular intersection, and the intracapsular tissue cuts generated on the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) divide the lens nucleus into three fragments, and the intracapsular tissue cut generated on a third cutting plane (CP3) forms intracapsular intersecting lines (S1, S2) with the first cutting plane (CP1) and the second cutting plane (CP2) and subdivides each of the three fragments. <EOS>
