Cataract surgery using current phacoemulsification techniques offers a number of attractive beefits to both surgeon and patient. The principal advantages are: smaller incision size, which decreases the amount of tissue injury, reduces the amount of postoperative pain and inflammation, minimal loss of endothelial cells and corneal oedema. The protective properties of viscoelastic substances have in turn enhanced intraoperative safety surgeon control, minimizing iris trauma, capsule tears and the possibility of intraoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage by maintaining a pressurized surgical environment. The main operative steps in phacoemulsifications are: clear corneal limbus incision, capsulotomy, capsulorhexis, phacofragmentation, phacoemulsification and aspiration, corneal limbus suture.
