  2. Phacoemulsification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phacoemulsification

    Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery method in which the internal lens of the eye which has developed a cataract is emulsified with the tip of an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the volume of the anterior chamber during the procedure.

  3. Intraocular lens scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_scaffold

    In this a glued IOL is placed behind the cataract pieces. The glued IOL then works as a scaffold and the cataract pieces are removed with the phaco handpiece using ultrasound. Two partial thickness scleral flaps measuring 2.5 to 2.5 mm are made 180 degrees diagonally apart. Infusion is placed by anterior chamber maintainer and sclerotomies are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

    Phacoemulsification uses a machine with an ultrasonic handpiece with a titanium or surgical stainless steel tip, which vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency—commonly 40 kHz—to emulsify the lens tissue, which is aspirated by a coaxial annular suction tube. A second instrument, which is sometimes called a "cracker" or "chopper", may be used ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabectome

    The Trabectome handpiece is inserted into the anterior chamber, its tip positioned into Schlemm's canal, and advanced to the left and to the right. Different from cautery, the tip generates plasma to molecularize the trabecular meshwork and remove it drag-free and with minimal thermal effect.

  7. Hydrodissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodissection

    By directing the flow the surgeon lifts the membrane around the sides and back of the capsule until the lens is completely loose as a prelude to phacoemulsification or direct extracapslar removal. [2] [3] Hydrodissection is also used in general surgery to release a trapped nerve or to reduce intraoperative blood losses. [4]
