Phacoemulsification with the Heslin/Mackool Ocusystem: results of a retrospective study.
One surgeon's experience with phacoemulsification and the Heslin/Mackool Ocusystem is reported. The visual results and intraoperative and postoperative complications are comparable to those reported by surgeons using other phacoemulsification instruments. The authors conclude that the Heslin/Mackool Ocusystem is an efficient instrument for phacoemulsification.
