Surgeon explains flip-and-slice supracapsular cataract disassembly technique

NEW YORK — A flip-and-slice supracapsular technique can be efficient, fast and safe in soft, medium and hard lenses during cataract disassembly, according to a speaker here.“A prepared surgeon, when he or she walks into the operating room, has to have a fully loaded tool kit because you never know what you’re going to expect when you start your cataract. And as a result, the supracapsular cataract surgery technique may end up being one of your tools,” Cynthia Matossian, MD, FACS, said at OSN New York 2015.
