Introduction
The aim of this paper is to present an alternative method of phacoemulsification. Material and methods Bimanual phacoemulsification through two paracenteses was performed in 15 eyes. After cataract removal intraocular lenses were implanted into the capsular bag through a small paracentesis (less than 2 mm). Results Anatomical and functional results were good in all cases. After comparison with conventional phacoemulsification we concluded, that the bimanual technique shortens the time of ultrasounds usage and reduces postoperative astigmatism. Conclusions Phacoemulsification performed through two paracenteses can be the next step in cataract surgery development. keywords:
