Irrigation/aspiration handpiece with changeable tips for cortex removal in small incision phacoemulsification.

Cortex removal, especially at the 12 o'clock position, is more difficult with small incision phacoemulsification than with planned extracapsular cataract extraction. In this study an irrigation/aspiration handpiece with changeable tips was used for cortex removal in a large, unselected, consecutive series of small incision phacoemulsification procedures. The instrument provided a safe, effective, and economical method of cortex removal.

A prospective study of the transition to phacoemulsification and small incision cataract surgery.

Phacoemulsification is an increasingly popular method of performing cataract surgery. The procedure remains controversial. Opponents of phacoemulsification maintain the procedure has an unacceptably high complication rate during transition to the technique. This prospective study found that the many advantages of phacoemulsification were safely introduced into a moderate sized community practice. The surgical complication rate was very low and visual acuity statistics excellent.
