    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery traditionally involves large incisions, leading to complications.
    • Linear extraction of the lens poses challenges and risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a minimally invasive technique for lens aspiration.
    • To reduce complications associated with traditional cataract surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2-mm limbal incision is used for lens aspiration.
    • Intracapsular aspiration of the lens cortex and nucleus is performed.
    • Anterior capsule is left intact to prevent posterior synechiae.
    • Anterior vitrectomy manages vitreous presentation.

    Main Results:

    • The technique ensures immediate eye strength post-operation.

  • Posterior synechiae and secondary membrane formation are prevented.
  • A round, mobile pupil is assured.
  • Complications are minimized compared to large incision techniques.

    • Conclusions:

    • The 2-mm limbal incision technique for lens aspiration is effective and safe.
    • This approach simplifies cataract surgery and improves patient outcomes.
    • It offers a viable alternative to traditional lens extraction methods.
