Show Description +

This Morgagnian cataract in a myopic eye was controlled with Mannitol preop and Healon 5 intraop allowing for a safe small capsulorhexis which was enlarged secondarily. Reverse pupillary block was prevented by lifting the iris off the anterior capsule prior to initiating irrigation. Endolenticular cross action vertical chop phacoemulsification within a viscoelastic sandwich spares endothelium and results in a routine in the bag lens implantation."
