A considerable variety of emergent technologies and techniques has stepped forward in recent years. Laser phaco systems and bi-manual micro-phaco approaches are commanding increasing attention. So, too, is the development of “cold” phaco devices, including modifications to existing phaco systems that allow operation in a cold phaco mode, which is to say any emulsification technology that does not generate a hot instrument tip. Here are examples of some of the latest innovations in "phaco" technology.
