Two-step sclero-corneal tunnel incision for cataract surgery
https://doi.org/10.20538/1682-0363-2002-4-92-96
Abstract
The modification of small tunnel sclero-corneal incision for lens extraction is suggested. The influence of the incision on corneal curvature and its ability to provide intraoperative and postoperative eyeball hermeticity is experimentally studied.
