| pubmed-article:1593440 | pubmed:abstractText | Cortex removal, especially at the 12 o'clock position, is more difficult with small incision phacoemulsification than with planned extracapsular cataract extraction. In this study an irrigation/aspiration handpiece with changeable tips was used for cortex removal in a large, unselected, consecutive series of small incision phacoemulsification procedures. The instrument provided a safe, effective, and economical method of cortex removal. | lld:pubmed |
