Abstract: A cataract is defined as opacity of the crystalline lens. It is currently one of the most prevalent ocular pathologies and is generally associated with aging. The most common treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery is a quick and painless process, is very effective, and has few risks. The operation consists of removing the opacified lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens. The most common intraocular lens removal procedure that is currently used is phacoemulsification. The energy applied in… Show more

“…Cataract is the leading cause of world blindness ( 1 , 2 ). Currently, phacoemulsification surgery is the standard treatment for cataract and lens fragmentation is considered the critical step in the surgery ( 3 ). In recent years, several different lens splitting techniques in phacoemulsification have been developed, such as in situ fracture, divide-and-conquer, stop-and chop, and phaco-chop techniques, among which phaco-chop is the most classic and popular one ( 4 , 5 ).…”

“…Nevertheless, intraoperative complications from cataract surgery still occur and may result in poor visual outcomes. 3 Analyzing the rate of such complications and their consequences is important for the modern ophthalmological practice to produce benchmark standards for surgeons and to inform patients' consent for surgery. 4,5 Posterior capsule rupture (PCR) is a relatively uncommon intraoperative complication of phacoemulsification cataract surgery, with a reported incidence rate of 0.7% to 2.6%.…”

“…1,2 During cataract surgery, phacoemulsification is the standard method used to remove the crystalline lens. 3,4 Several factors can affect surgical outcome, including characteristics of the phacoemulsification tip, which may contribute to procedure safety and clinical outcomes. 5,6 Phacoemulsification probes can be vibrated in a longitudinal or torsional mode.…”
