The original IOL was removed as the patient was unhappy with the surface reflections and Purkinje images. A silicone IOL was selected. The dissection was initiated with a 0.25 mm Barraquer iris sweep and completed with the blunt end of a Masket phaco spatula

Wow also. Great surgery. Why not just do a piggyback +3.0 sulcus IOL? Easier on the coronaries.

Very nice surgery Dr Masket. What was the blunt dissector you used for capsular separation?

The tonometer comes from Ocular Instruments in Bellevue, WA, USA. It is the Kratz-Terry tonometer and can only be flash sterilized for 3 minutes.
