Abstract

We rotated the nucleus up to 270 degree and dislocated it into anterior chamber through the diameter of capsulorhexis after hydrodissection by using the planned extracapsular cataract extraction. And later on we delivered the nucleus with hydroexpression using the irrigating Vectis or with rotation using a lens spatuala. As a result of this procedure, the nucleus was safely delivered in all cases without zonular rupture and vitreous prolapse.
