Nice and fast! I have tried chop but am concerned about the capsule when I place the microphinger periphrerally without seeing it and also about the surge created when I complete the chop when parts are splitted and the post capsule could come to the probe . I have seen this happening, so returned to the conquer method. Have you had the same problem?
1) use chopper with blunt tip-never Sinskley or other sharp end instruments
2) do not press to much down on chopper just let it slide behind the equator-start in the center of the lens,burry the chopper it in to the epinucleus and go periferily until it drop down. Than go back to the center
3) release the vacum short moment before the oculision is lost-in a moment when you start your lateral movement with phaco and chopper
4) you can also put visco behind the nucleus to create some safety space
would like to see the blunt chopper if u can doctor i use similar teqniques but since my chopper is sharp am worried abt the pc tear
