The invention discloses a discission needle and an operation method of the discission needle. The discission needle comprises a rotating rod, a first gear and a second gear meshed with the first gear. The first gear comprises a circular disc base, gear teeth arranged on the upper surface of the circular disc base and a stand column penetrating through the center of the circular disc base. The upper portion of the stand column is provided with a groove, and the groove is cylindrical. The rotating rod penetrates through the center of the second gear, and the end, close to the second gear, of the rotating rod is matched with the groove in shape. The inner surface of the circular disc base is provided with a sliding rail groove, and the sliding rail groove is matched with a protruding block arranged on the outer surface of the stand column in shape. The side end of the circular disc base is provided with a needle body, one end of the needle body is arranged on the circular disc base through a fastening structure, and the other end of the needle body is vertically connected with the tip end of a scraping membrane. By means of the discission needle and the operation method of the discission needle, linkage between the second gear and the first gear is achieved, the needle body is driven to conduct capsulorhexis operation, the edge of a capsulorhexis mouth generated after capsulorhexis operation is finished is continuous and circular, and intraoperative complications caused by traditional surgical operation are avoided; operation is simple, no longer learning cycle is needed, and the skill level can be reached.
