Incidence and mechanism of conjunctival chemosis during phacoemulsification
Intraoperative chemosis is related to the distance from CCI to the end of Bowmen's layer. The residual conjunctiva around the incision wraps the phacoemulsification probe sleeve to form a passage, the leakage fluid enters the subconjunctiva through this passage, forming chemosis. Conjunctival incision on both sides of CCI can effectively prevent the development of chemosis.
