Needle Synechialisis Without Viscoelastic
It has always been taught to me to remove a synechialisis using a large incision + OVD + Spatula. Here I present to you a new idea. First of all, I thought: Why not using a simple 26G or 29G in the cornea? To my surprise, the anterior chamber is kept stable! It’s possible to […]
