HERNANDEZ SILVA, Juan R et al. Results of the Cho-Choo-Chop and Flip's technique in the cataract surgery by phakoemulsification. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.18, n.1. ISSN 0864-2176.

A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with all the patients (eyes) with diagnosis of senile or presenile cataract that received surgical treatment with Cho-Choo-Chop and Flip's technique by phakoemulsification at the Center of Ocular Microsurgery from Janunary 2003 to January 2005. 198 patients were selected by randomized simple sampling. Most of the patietns studied were over 65 years old. The visual acuity with correction attained improved as an average in 6 lines according to Snellen's test, with an average induced astigmatism of 0.43 D. The average ultrasound time used was 1.26 min, proportional to the hardness of the nucleus. A few complications were observed. The rupture of the posterior capsule and the vitreous projection were the most frequent
