title: Use of an anterior chamber bridging cannula to prevent endothelial damage during posterior chamber lens insertion.
abstract: There is considerable risk of marked endothelial cell loss associated with insertion of an intraocular implant into an eye which has shown a tendency to anterior chamber collapse or shallowing during manipulation of the cataract section. A technique of bridging the anterior chamber for safe insertion of a J-loop posterior chamber lens is described.
