ABSTRACT:
A novel method for performing intraocular surgery is described in which a radial incision is first made in the sclera of the eye, a subsurface scleral pocket lateral and anterior to the radial incision is then created, the subsurface scleral pocket extending anteriorly to the cornea of the eye, and finally a transverse incision is made from the pocket through the cornea into the anterior chamber of the eye. Through these incisions a damaged lens can be efficiently and effectively removed and replaced with a new lens. Various post-operative benefits are observed as a result of employing this procedure.
