title: Cutting-aspiration instruments.
abstract: Cutting-aspiration instruments are discussed in relation to design and principles of action. Experience with the Roto-extractor in over 100 cases is reviewed. Large pupillary openings were achieved in nearly all cases. No vitreous was attached to the wound postoperatively. Retinal detachment has not occurred to date in nontraumatic lenticular opacities.
