Your Ophthalmology Against The Rule hosts take a detailed look at the MiLoop technique and discuss the pros and cons of various phaco options including femto laser assisted, divide and conquer, and chop. As you'll hear, just like with nuclear fission, with great power comes great responsibility when choosing an option to split the nucleus.</p>
