title: The Taylor pressure reducer in cataract surgery.
abstract: A retrospective study was undertaken to determine whether the use of the Taylor pressure reducer during routine intracapsular cataract surgery lowered the incidence of vitreous loss. A significant reduction in the vitreous loss rate was noted. The Taylor pressure reducer is a useful device for the prevention of this complication in the Third World.
