This article is based on the 2025 ASCRS Binkhorst Lecture which I delivered in Los Angles in April 2025. It will focus on the basic but oft-neglected step in phacoemulsification: hydrodissection. Over a 40 year career, I have had a particular interest in the techniques of 'hydro' manoeuvres to achieve nuclear mobility. The introduction of intra-operative OCT in 2017 allowed 'live' imaging of hydrodissection and hydrodelamination helping in our understanding of cleavage planes. Complications of hydrodissection like the 'pupil snap sign' will be analysed and the relevance of hydrodissection in modern cataract surgery discussed.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
