title: [Bimanual irrigation/aspiration].
abstract: Bimanual irrigation/aspiration is a safe method for the removal of lenticular mass from the eye and can be used in some complicated cases. As it is a perfectly closed system, oscillation of the posterior capsule does not occur and this prevents prolapse of the vitreous body. If the pupil is narrow, the margin of the pupil can be shifted by means of the irrigation cannula and thus suction of the lenticular mass up to the equator is made possible. In subluxed lenses by gently pushing back the lenticular capsule its adherence to the aspiration cannula is prevented. It is relatively easy to clean the anterior lenticular capsule from epithelial cells by bimanual I/A.
