What is the solution of cataract?

Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The artificial lens, called an intraocular lens, is positioned in the same place as your natural lens. It remains a permanent part of your eye. For some people, other eye problems prohibit the use of an artificial lens.

How many cataract operations go wrong?

Can a hydrodissection have prevented a cataract complication?

The complication could have been prevented if a more thorough hydrodissection had been performed from the outset. As a rule of thumb, a surgeon should never proceed with phacoemulsification until it is possible to freely rotate the nucleus, no matter how soft it is.

What are the defects in the capsulorrhexis of cataract?

My personal choice was to add three more defects in the capsulorrhexis, at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock relative to the incision. In doing so, I referenced a lesson learned from can-opener capsulotomy in ECCE—in these cases, we never saw wraparound tears when we expressed the intact large nucleus through the capsulotomy.
