Overview

Bimanual irrigation/aspiration is a safe method for the removal of lenticular massfrom the eye and can be used in some complicated cases. As it is a perfectly closedsystem, oscillation of the posterior capsule does not occur and this preventsprolapse of the vitreous body. If the pupil is narrow, the margin of the pupil canbe shifted by means of the irrigation cannula and thus suction of the lenticularmass up to the equator is made possible. In subluxed lenses by gently pushingback the lenticular capsule its adherence to the aspiration cannula is prevented.It is relatively easy to clean the anterior lenticular capsule from epithelial cellsby bimanual I/A.

Key words:
bimanual irrigation/aspiration, aspiration of lenticular mass
