|---|---|---|---|
| HF easyTip 2.2mm | Other | The phacoemulsifications tip used was the easyTip 2.2mm tip (Oertli Instruments, Berneck, Switzerland). The cristaline lens was divided into four quadrants using an aspiration flow rate of 10ml/min and vacuum of 70 mmHg. The quadrants were aspirated using the following linear power and fluidic settings: aspiration flow rate 50ml/min, vacuum 600 mmHg, bottle height 100cm. |

| infusion asissted easyTip | Other | The phacoemulsifications tip used was an infusion assisted easyTip 2.2mm (Oertli Instruments, Berneck, Switzerland). The cristaline lens was divided into four quadrants using an aspiration flow rate of 10ml/min and vacuum of 70 mmHg. The quadrants were aspirated using the following linear power and fluidic settings: aspiration flow rate 50ml/min, vacuum 600 mmHg, bottle height 100cm. |
