title: Transparent irrigation cannula for bimanual lens cortex removal.
abstract: A transparent irrigation cannula was developed to facilitate bimanual removal of subincisional lens cortex after phacoemulsification. The cannula allows visualization of the proximal cortex and provides ample inflow to maintain an inflated anterior chamber even at a high aspiration pressure.
