A new phacoemulsification technique for in-the-bag IOL placement
Lyle, W.A., 1983: A new phacoemulsification technique for in-the-bag IOL placement. Journal - American Intra-Ocular Implant Society 9(4): 461-463
The standard phacoemulsification procedure includes capsulotomy with an irrigating cystotome and cortical cleanup with an irrigation/aspiration handpiece. While this is an effective technique, it produces ill-defined capsule edges that make in-the-bag placement of the implant difficult. We describe a technique that facilitates identification of capsular flaps by using scissors for the anterior capsulotomy, followed by cortical cleanup with the Gills technique and in-the-bag placement of the implant.PMID: 6662796
