Stratified Phacoemulsification Technique to Enhance Safety in Posterior Polar Cataracts
The technique of stratified phacoemulsification can achieve safe and successful cataract surgery in posterior polar cataracts with Grade 2 or higher nuclear sclerosis, without the use of hydro maneuvers or expensive femtosecond lasers. The technique entails using standard instruments to form an epinuclear shell that protects the posterior capsule during nuclear emulsification.
