Abstract

To avoid the Argentine Flag sign, a 26G, ½ inch needle attached to a 1cc syringe is introduced into the AC through the side port, and pierces bevel down into the anterior capsule. Cortex is aspirated to reduce the intra-lenticular pressure, to an extent that capsulorhexis thereafter is no problem. Viscoelastic is reinforced in the AC. An oval 5.5 – 6 mm, curvilinear capsulorhexis, eccentric towards the tunnel is made with a 26G needle cystitome through the side port.
