ABSTRACT
The epinucleus and cortex aspiration is performed immediately after the complete removal of the nucleus. Thorough and complete removal of the epinucleus and cortical material is a very important part of successful Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery. Removal of the epinucleus and cortical aspiration is not the bag and anterior chamber clean up alone. To preserve the capsular bag without causing zonular dialysis and causing least damage to the corneal endothelial endothelium is of paramount importance.
