Abstract

A new intraocular 20-gauge (0.89-mm) cryoprobe is compatible with the Ocutome-Fragmatome system. The iceball forms only at the tip and there is a rapid freeze and defrost cycle. Actual clinical testing during vitreous surgery showed the probe to be reliable and easy to use. It is useful for the treatment of posterior tears, the removal of dislocated lenses, and softening the lens nucleus before phacofragmentation.
