PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Familiarization with each of the manufacturers' latest machines and upgrades assists in understanding the advances made in phacoemulsification technology. RECENT FINDINGS: Improvements in the delivery of energy through power modulations, alternative and adjunctive energy sources, and advanced fluidics allow the safe use of bimanual microincision techniques for lens extraction. SUMMARY: Continual advances in phacoemulsification technology and adjunctive surgical devices allow cataract surgery to be performed more safely and efficiently.
