Abstract
Following the introduction of instrumentation for phacoemulsification and vitctomy, many other devices have been deaigned to perform the functions. In the past, there was a serious prblem that fluid flowed from the eye along the path of least resistance and the dutflow rate varied greatly with viscosity and consistency of material in the line. Recently a new computerized instrument the Heslin/Mackool Ocusystem that overcame these flow problems was developed and we studied about early experiences using this new helper. The results were as follows: 1. There was an advantage for time and place due to a single instrument and simple change from E.C.C.E. to vitrectomy. 2. The rupture of posterior capsule in aphakic group and the remained cortical material in pseudophakic group were the most common surgical complications during operation. 3. Descemet's membrane stripping was developed in a high rate due to the sharp titanum-covered cap of the handpiece for phacoemulsification. 4. The posterior capsule opacity was the most common postoperative complication in the group of visual acuity less than 0.5.
