In yesterday’s video (number 2128) we saw that using the phaco probe to apply ultrasonic energy to a soft, fluffy white cataract can result in the complication of a ruptured posterior capsule. For these cases, I prefer to use the gentle tip of the IA probe to aspirate the cataract without ultrasonic energy. This video shows how I handle these tough cases and it is the complete case shown start to finish. Next time you have a case like this, try this technique.
