Cases of phacolytic glaucoma are associated with high intraocular pressure and present with corneal bullae and decompensation. An open technique like extra capsular cataract surgery is associated with higher incidence of expulsive hemorrhage which can significantly compromise the visual potential of the eye. This video demonstrates a closed safe small incision technique with removal of the nucleus in the case of phacolytic glaucoma and placement of intra ocular lens with complete cleaning of the anterior chamber to remove all the phacolytic material.
The video demonstartes the technique to avoid accidental stripping of the descements membrane while dealing with such compromised situations.
