Intratunnel Phacofracture Technique
Intratunnel phacofracture technique is a new technique of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS).In this technique, the nucleus is broken inside the 4 to 6-mm wide sclero-corneal tunnel with the help of the Lewis lens loop. MSICS is significantly faster, less expensive, and less technology-dependent than phacoemulsification and has been extensively practiced in developing countries such as India. However, the drawback of most commonly practiced MSICS techniques Blumenthal, viscoexpression, irrigating wire vectis, and fish-hook needle is that they all require a large incision of 7 to 9 mm, which leads to induced astigmatism. The Intratunnel Phacofracture technique was innovated by Dr Sudhir Singh1,2.
