“…Ozil torsional mode, a new ultrasound mode introduced by the Infiniti Vision System phacoemulsification instrument (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, Texas), is more efficient than the conventional mode for phacoemulsification surgery treating hard nuclear cataract. [1,2] In addition, burst mode, an ultrasonic power mode introduced in recent years, is used to reduce the mean ultrasound time (UST) and cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), and is more suitable for hard nuclear cataract compared with continuous mode.

This article aims to evaluate the outcomes of torsional and burst mode phacoemulsification in hard nuclear cataracts. Eighty eyes with grade IV or V nuclear opalescence were treated with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation using conventional mode (Group A, n = 40) or torsional and burst mode phacoemulsification (Group B, n = 40). For good visualization of anterior capsule, trypan blue was injected to the anterior chamber before continuous circular capsulorhexis. The mean cumulative dissipated energy and ultrasound time were recorded. The best-corrected visual acuity, endothelial cell density, and central corneal thickness were measured before and at 1 month after surgery. The cumulative dissipated energy and ultrasound time of Group B were significantly less than that of Group A. The postoperative best-corrected visual acuities of the 2 groups were comparable. At 1 month after surgery, the changes in the endothelial cell density were significantly greater in Group A than in Group B, and the changes in the central corneal thickness were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Torsional and burst mode is a safe and effective surgical method for treating hard cataracts.

Modifications to the phacoemulsification technique have continually improved surgical outcomes (and therefore visual outcomes) for our patients. While much has been written about the role of advanced technology in intraocular lenses and how they have helped to improve outcomes, there is less in the literature about the systems we use to deliver those outcomes. Active fluidics and torsional ultrasound are two innovations that have improved our ability to provide even better postoperative results to our cataract patients. The following article will explain why these two advances on the CENTURION® Vision System (Alcon) have made that machine my preferred phacoemulsification system.

Feasibility of the New Torsional Phacoemulsification Software Phacoemulsification (Ozil IP) in Hard Cataracts

Abstract: The 3 parameters (CDE, FP3 and BSS amount) were found to be effective with no significant complications. The new Ozil IP required less CDE and less FP3 time with less postoperative corneal edema, and thus patients had a more rapid visual recovery.
