If your cataract surgery incision starts out poor, stop and try again

As you are making your phaco incision, judge the architecture and if it is not good, then stop and do not penetrate Descemet's layer and do not enter the anterior chamber. You can abandon this poor incision, shift to a different position, and try again. A good incision is critical for surgical success during cataract surgery. We have covered the topic of how to make a good phaco incision here, here, and here. And we have used our intra-operative OCT scan to carefully examine these incisions to differentiate good versus bad architecture. When we look at the OCT scan, we can see that the poor incision has a very thin roof, but fortunately it does not penetrate the cornea fully. The new incision, shifted a clock hour away, has a proper architecture and good balance.
