This video demonstrates a technique for beginner and mid-level surgeons that can also be helpful when managing rock-hard cataracts. In the cartwheel chop, a phaco probe is inserted into the center of the lens—like the hub of a cartwheel. With a phaco tip, one can rotate the lens and sculpt it using a chopper over the imaginary spoke. The nucleus is lifted and tilted and the chopping occurs at the iris plane. The nuclear fragments are pushed back in the bag while rotating and chopping. Fragments are then emulsified in the bag.
