title: The J-incision for phacoemulsification.
abstract: The J-incision phacoemulsification technique combines a small, short (no-stitch) frown incision tunnel with a wider, longer extension tunnel pocket for easier intraocular lens implantation. The technique was used in 26 cases. Mean induced astigmatism calculated by Jaffe vector analysis was 0.77 +/- 0.62 D on day 1 and 0.61 +/- 0.56 D at 3 months. Using Naeser's method (polar value), it was -0.10 +/- 0.84 D and -0.25 +/- 0.62 D, respectively. No wound leakage or hyphema occurred.
