Abstract

A technique of achieving precise hydrodelineation, in which fluid is injected from the inside of the nucleus to the outside, is described. The desired thickness of the nucleus-epinucleus bowl can be accomplished because the right-angled cannula can direct the fluid in the desired plane. This technique is useful in eyes with posterior polar cataracts and in eyes with dense cataracts in which aggressive phacoparameters are necessary for their removal.

Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with use of an endoscope.

We describe a technique for creating a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) using an endoscope. Three 2.0 mm limbal incisions 120 degrees apart were made in 4 cadaver eyes. The anterior capsule was stained with trypan blue 0.1% (Vision Blue). Under endoscopic visualization, a CCC was attempted in each of the 4 globes. It was completed in 1 of them. Endoscopy provides a safe and effective tool to visualize the anterior chamber and perform a CCC when there is a poor view through the cornea.

Intraocular lens optic capture.

A continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) provides a tear-resistant opening that allows use of a technique of capturing the intraocular lens (IOL) optic through the capsulorhexis opening when the opening is at least 1.0 to 2.0 mm smaller than the optic diameter. The technique provides stability and long-term centration of the IOL and prevents vitreous from extending anterior to the IOL. This paper reviews the current variations of optic capture including (1) haptics in the sulcus and IOL optic capture through a CCC, (2) haptics in the sulcus and IOL optic capture through an anterior capsule opening and a posterior CCC (PCCC), (3) haptics in the capsular bag and IOL optic capture through a PCCC, (4) haptics in the capsular bag and IOL optic capture through an anterior CCC, (5) haptics in the sulcus and IOL capture through a capsular membrane opening, and (6) haptics posterior to the capsular bag and IOL capture through a capsular membrane opening.
