This narrated video describes pearls for using a pre-chopper to perform efficient and safe cataract surgery through a 2.2 mm incision while minimizing the delivery of irrigation and ultrasound energy to the eye. It also discusses the use of the pre-chopping instrument in cases with poor nuclear rotation and in cases with poor dilation.
