I think it is a life boat for the surgeon not for the nucleus

It looks great but the video doesn't address the best way of removing the remaining cortex and prolapsed vitereous.

fantastic idea. Is it an upside down trimmed soft contact lens?

Dr. Sachet (19 months ago)

Excellent idea.Pherhaps we can use a contact lens with a tinted pupil(black), while doing a pterigion o related surgery to protect the retina or diminish the disconfort of the high.ilumination. Its an alternative to the merocel round device used so far...Gracias.DrMonta;oMexico
