Lens & Cataract-Clear Corneal Incision

Clear Corneal Incision

Currently the most popular entrance site for phacoemulsification cataract surgeries and intraocular lens implantations.
These clear corneal wounds usually are self-sealing, and do not induce astigmatism as they heal.
They have minimal risk of bleeding.
May be complicated with Descemet's membrane stripping or tears.
