Horizontal Lens Cut With LenSx Ascend

Show Description +

This video demonstrates a technique using an enhanced pattern on the Alcon LenSx, which is part of the Ascend Rev H upgrade. This procedure involves safely removing a central plug of the nucleus, which the femtosecond laser has segmented into 48 pieces. This approach eliminates the need for the phacoemulsification tip to angle down or extend beyond the 5-mm capsulotomy, allowing it to function primarily as a receptacle. Consequently, the second instrument plays a more prominent role in the surgery.
