Surgical techniques in phacoemulsification

Uday Devgan. Curr Opin Ophthalmol. 2007 Feb.

Abstract

Purpose of review: Recent advances in cataract surgical techniques are described, focusing on the evolution towards less traumatic surgery.

Recent findings: Smaller incisions, split infusion, astigmatic management, and techniques of managing floppy iris syndrome are significant changes in the cataract surgical technique within the last 12-24 months.

Summary: Surgeons need to learn the new techniques and instrumentation as cataract surgery moves towards less invasive surgery, with smaller incisions, more precise refractive outcomes, and fewer complications.
