Abstract
Purpose:To compare the efficacy and safety of a fluid-jet technique with capsular polish in reducing residual lens fibers (RLFs) in phacoemulsification surgery.Setting:Single center.Design:Prospective nonrandomized comparative study.Methods:Patients receiving phacoemulsification were included. Consecutive eligible patients alternately underwent either removal of RLFs on the posterior capsule using capsular polish after irrigation and aspiration, and before intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, or RLF removal using a fluid-jet technique after IOL implantation. Posterior capsular images were used to quantify RLFs. Visual parameters were evaluated at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 year postoperatively. Th..
