Intumescent cataracts are challenging cases even for experienced phaco surgeons (Bhattacharjee et al, 1999; Ermiss et al, 2003). In these eyes, during capsulorhexis, there are very high chances of anterior capsule tears with peripheral extension due to the high pressure of the hydrated cataractous lens. Following this, the continuation of phacoemulsification is extremely difficult and is associ...

Different types of iridectomies have been advocated by various surgeons. Chandler in 1890 suggested a pin-hole peripheral iridectomy (Knapp, 1947), and Harrington (1949) also concluded that peripheral iridectomy was better than a complete iridectomy. Kirby...
