Rinsing is performed from the anterior chamber with the water jet directed tangentially to the ophthalmic viscosurgical device bolus and towards the posterior capsule, which creates a turbulence creating a \u201cgrindstone effect\u201d. The ophthalmic viscosurgical device bolus transforms into a ball and starts to rotate very quickly within the capsule, grinding away the cortical remnants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the first series of 62 cases, there were no intra-operative or post-operative complications. At day 1 there was no corneal oedema and no hypertension of intraocular pressure. Visual outcomes were good with a mean best corrected distance visual acuity of \u22120.01\u2009\u00b1\u20090.11 logMAR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This technique appears to be effective and fast in removing persistent cortical remnants from the surface of the posterior capsule, while minimising risks such as capsule aspiration during irrigation\/aspiration. There is limited pressure and mechanical force applied on the capsule; the anterior chamber and the corneal endothelium remain safe since the ophthalmic viscosurgical device stays inside the capsular bag to its high cohesiveness and molecular weight. More data on a larger cohort of patients is planned to confirm these results and evaluate long-term effects on posterior capsule opacification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/11206721211059909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]],"date-time":"2021-11-09T06:11:44Z","timestamp":1636438304000},"page":"1817-1820","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Removing residual cortical material during cataract surgery: Visco polishing and the grindstone effect as a new surgical technique"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6341-9069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas F","family":"Borkenstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Privatklinik der Kreuzschwestern Graz, Borkenstein & Borkenstein Private Practice, Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva-Maria","family":"Borkenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Privatklinik der Kreuzschwestern Graz, Borkenstein & Borkenstein Private Practice, Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5666-3493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boris","family":"Malyugin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"S.
