Effect of Anterior Chamber Instability during Phacoemulsification Combined with Intraocular Lens Implantation

Figure 3

Anterior chamber (AC) stability was evaluated by operating microscopy and intraoperative OCT (iOCT). (a) No forward movement of the posterior capsule (PC) was observed by operating microscopy. (b) A concave arcuate shape of the PC (white arrow) was observed by iOCT. (c) Forward movement of the PC was observed by operating microscopy. (d) Forward movement of the PC (white arrow) was observed by iOCT. (e) The disappearance of the AC was observed by operating microscopy. (f) The PC (white arrow) contact with the corneal endothelium was observed by iOCT. The yellow arrow denotes the self-made AC irrigation tip.
