Abstract

Despite recent advances in techniques and technology, phacoemulsification in a rock hard nucleus is challenging, even for an experienced surgeon. Incidence of capsularzonular complications, corneal edema wound burn and post-operative inflammation is high. However, the operating surgeon can achieve gratifying results if a proper and effective surgical strategy is adopted. Samuel Masket’s technique is one such technique which makes a surgeon’s life easier with managing hard cataract. In this video, we present our modification of Samuel Masket’s technique [1].
