ABSTRACT
In the last decade several advances have taken place in surgical techniques for removal of cataracts in difficult situations such as posterior polar cataract, total cataract, subluxated cataract, and cataract in patients with uveitis. Hard cataract itself can pose a challenge to surgeons. In addition, phacoemulsification can be difficult if the structures (e.g. weak zonular apparatus leading to subluxated cataract) and conditions around it (e.g. posterior polar cataract) are not very favorable.1
