Introduction: We describe a novel surgical technique of slit-beam retro-illumination assisted phacoemulsification for cataract with coexisting corneal opacity.
Cases: We present two cases with cataract and coexisting opacity, who underwent slitbeam retro-illumination assisted phacoemulsification and further application of same process in 12 patients.
Conclusion: This technique is safe and provides excellent visualization during cataract surgery in patients with corneal opacities.
