We herein describe a novel device to contain droplets and aerosols during phacoemulsification. We modified the silicon phaco test chamber into an aerosol containment chamber (ACC) by shortening the chamber and making a pear-shaped opening at one aspect of its tip. The ACC was fitted over phaco tip such that 4-5 mm of phaco tip and sleeve was exposed. When the phaco tip and irrigation port are inside the anterior chamber during phacoemulsification, the portion of the modified chamber remains around the clear corneal tunnel in an enclosing manner that contains aerosols and droplets.
