Hydro-visco-implantation Technique for Wound-assisted Foldable Intraocular Lens Implantation During Microincision Cataract Surgery
We have described a hydro-visco-implantation technique (simultaneous use
of sodium hyaluronate and balanced salt solution) for wound-assisted
intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and passive removal of ophthalmic
viscosurgical device (OVD). In the technique, the capsular bag was
filled approximately up to half with OVD, and anterior chamber was
formed by bimanual irrigation cannula with continuous irrigation mode
from the side port. Sometimes after adequate tonus is provided,
continuous mode could be off to reduce wash effect on OVD during
injection of IOL. Injection of foldable IOL with the support of wound
edges was completed. While the continuous irrigation mode was on, firm
downward pressure was applied with the tip of aspiration canula to the
posterior lip of main incision, and dynamic outflow was created, and
viscoelastic material was removed from the eye.
