Manual small-incision cataract surgery using a double nylon loop technique is described. After capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, and hydrodelamination, the hard core of the nucleus is moved into the anterior chamber and divided into 3 pieces by a double nylon loop. Each piece is removed through a 4.0 to 4.5 mm corneal incision. The technique was safely performed in 120 eyes, with good results and few complications.
