title: New techniques of viscosurgery with phacoemulsification.
abstract: Sodium hyaluronate is a valuable aid for phacoemulsification and intraocular lens insertion. Procedures such as anterior capsulotomy, polishing the capsule, lens adjustment, incision closure, and conversion to planned extracapsular cataract extraction are facilitated when sodium hyaluronate is used. A new method of removing it from the eye is presented.
