In this video, i discuss whether all white cataracts intumscent. do we need to take all precautions in all white cataracts. So, in a white catarct i use a high molecular weight viscoelastic like viscoat or hylaocoat. Then when i touch the anterior capsule with cystitome, If the anterior capsule flattens easily , it means that the intralenticular pressure is not that high. And we can go ahead like a normal CCC. Howewer, if the capsule does not flatten, we have to take all precautions for a intumscent cataract.
