Subject field(s)
  • Eye Surgery
CONT

Current endocapsular phacoemulsification techniques allow for removal of the nucleus through this small hole, leaving a deep and well-defined capsular cul-de-sac with greater visibility of the capsulotomy edges which helps ensure placement of both haptics within the capsular bag.

CONT

Six cases of capsular bag distension after capsulorhexis, endophacoemulsification, and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation are presented.

CONT

The increasingly popular techniques of capsulorhexis and ’in-the-bag’ phacoemulsification have significantly improved IOL [intraocular lens] fixation.
