When there was no more cortex to be aspirated, the wounds were hydrated after aspirating the OVD and the IOL was well-centered in the capsular bag. Editors' note: Dr. Mathen and Dr. Ogawa have no financial interests related to their presentations. was inflated with viscoelastic, and the CCC continued with capsular forceps. The chamber was maintained with OVD to avoid peripheral extension of CCC. To initiate phaco, he tried to stabilize the nucleus in the bag. But the bag had no cortex and the nucleus was much smaller, so the nucleus was spinning in the bag.

A single-piece hydrophobic acrylic IOL was injected into capsular bag, and the nucleus was stabilized in the bag over the IOL. A direct chopping technique was em- ployed to split the nucleus. The IOL protected the pos- terior capsule from accidental touch by the phaco needle. The anterior chamber was filled with dispersive OVD to protect the endothelium, and care was taken to avoid the phaco tip touching the surface of the IOL. Since the nucleus was hard and leathery, complete split- ting of the nucleus had to be ensured for comfortable emul- sification of the fragments, he 2nd place: 67557 Do We Need to Needle?
