Here I demonstrate a series of cases demonstrating horizontal chop. This is an update of the case series from 2013. These are all in HD.

I continue to believe this is the safest way to disassemble a cataract for the following reasons.

#1 The phaco tip stays near the center and in the iris plane and is never within 1-2mm of the capsule.

#2 It is completely vacuum less chopping, making it simple and safe.

#3 The pieces are brought to the phaco tip with the chopper/second instrument, or are pulled out using burst mode and never on quadrant mode.
