Figures & data
Figure 1 A cannula is inserted via a side port, and the anterior chamber is flushed for several seconds (A and B). The opposite edge or the side edge of the IOL using the tip of the needle is lifted and the stream of solution is directed behind the IOL (C). Once the anterior chamber has been flushed for several seconds, the needle is removed while maintaining the solution stream (D and E).
Figure 2 Applying flush to cortex removal for the cases with CTR. When the residual cortex is hard to be lifted up. You should put top of the syringe carefully, under the IOL with continuous flow.
Figure 3 (A) It is difficult to remove the residual cortex which is trapped in the space between the CTR and the capsular equator. (B) Flush creates the current under the IOL. (C) Performing flush, the residual cortex is lifted up to the anterior chamber and convenient in aspirating. (D) After that, we can easily remove the residual cortex with ordinary I/A.
