title: Different opening techniques in cataract surgery.
abstract: A retrospective study on the different opening techniques in cataract surgery at our Department in 1996 was carried out. In our everyday practice fornix based conjunctival flap and sclerocorneal oblique or vertical-oblique approach with a center at 12 o'clock was performed. In the case of hemorrhagic diathesis and secondary ACL implantation the corneal approach was preferred. After glaucomatous filtration surgery the incision was made temporally in some cases.
