Bimanual phacoemulsification for subluxated cataractous lens

Abstract

Bimanual phacoemulsification has been established as a safe and efficacious means of nuclear emulsification in the past. This case report presents the use of this technique in a man in his early forties, who had subluxated cataractous lenses in both eyes. The technique allowed for effective nuclear emulsification within a closed chamber, providing better control over intraocular events. The report emphasizes the safety and effectiveness of bimanual phacoemulsification in cataract extraction, even in challenging cases like a subluxated lens.
