Illuminated endochopper in the management of posteriorly dislocated lens nucleus
Accepted 11 February 2005.
We describe the use of an illuminated endochopper (a prototype instrument produced by DORC International) in the management of a posteriorly dislocated lens nucleus or lens particles. This instrument helps to divide the lens nucleus or its fragments into small pieces and thus reduces time and ultrasound energy.
