Eye surgery video by
John R. Campbell,
M.D. |
A minute, painless initial "side port" incision is made.
Thick, transparent fluid (viscoelastic) is injected to hold open the space
between the cataract and the delicate underside of the clear cornea in front of
it. Anesthetic rinse is also applied at this time, rendering the eye profoundly
numb.
