Intraoperative OCT allows analysis of corneal phaco incision

The corneal phaco incision is a critical component in the success of cataract surgery. The incision is important for providing intraocular access to remove the cataract and insert the IOL, but it is also critical for maintaining fluid balance within the anterior chamber. An incision that is poorly constructed will limit the access to the anterior segment during surgery, and it can also leak fluid, thereby throwing off the fluidic balance of inflow to outflow, which will result in surge, a destabilized anterior chamber and a higher risk for complications (Read more...)
