Abstract
A new technique of phacoemulsification is described in which the nucleus is fractured within the capsular bag (in situ). The characteristics of this technique include hydrodissection, division of the nucleus into quadrants, and manipulation of each quadrant into the safe central zone for emulsification. The advantages of this method are safety, speed, and usefulness in almost all degrees of nuclear density and in small undilatable pupils.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
