Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Phacoemulsification is a standard cataract surgery method.
Ensuring safety and control within the capsular bag is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the "chip and flip" phacoemulsification technique.
To assess the level of control offered by this two-handed surgical maneuver.

Main Methods:

The study focuses on the "chip and flip" phacoemulsification technique.
Surgical maneuvers involve a two-handed approach.
The technique is performed through a small curvilinear capsulorhexis.

Main Results:

The "chip and flip" technique was found to increase safety during the procedure.
