Abstract

Conventional techniques for nucleus emulsification has been effective and adapted by most surgeons in the world, but this is not perfect that lead to invention of direct chop which does not fit to the experience of surgeon and all grade of cataracts. I have developed a new technique which involves making small crater in the centre (in place of long, wide and deep trench) and do the chopping further. This technique helps to reduce time, stress on zonules & incision, risk of PCR, risk of AC tear, wound burn, u/s power- usage. No manual cracking is required that further puts stress on zonules and increases the risk of PCR. While chopping with vertical chopping technique you are away from AC margin. This technique fits all grades of cataract.
