ABSTRACT
Hydroprocedures in Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery constitute hydrodissection and hydrodelineation. These procedures are performed by injecting irrigation fluid/balanced salt solution into the various anatomical layers of the cataractous lens with a cannula. These are performed to divide the various components of the lens, to separate the cortico-nuclear mass of the lens from the capsule, the nucleus from the epinucleus and cortex and to strip the nucleus bare of its different layers, to its hardest kernel.
