Abstract:

Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation has become the first line choice in all cataract removal procedures. During cataract surgery, perfect fixation of the patient’s eye is a prerequisite for successful surgery. Toothed forceps are most commonly used to immobilize the eyeball to prevent serious complications caused by sudden eye movement, but it sometimes damages the conjunctiva or causes pain to patients. Cotton swabs are very commonly used in eye surgery, such as dip the blood. We noticed that under the assistance of cotton swabs, the whole phacoemulsification procedure become smoothly during surgery.
