AIM:To explore safety and effectiveness of stratified emulsion splitting technology in highly hard nuclear cataract ultrasonic emulsification. METHODS: Totally 43 cases(47 eyes)of highly hard nuclear cataract was performed cataract extraction combined IOL implantation with stratified emulsion splitting cataract ultrasonic emulsification technology. RESULTS:Postoperative visual acuity 1 day, 1 week and 1 month best-corrected visual acuity ≥0.5 was accounted for 70.21%, 87.23% and 89.36%. Intraoperative capsule rupture was found in 2 eyes. Corneal mild edema was found in 7 eyes(14.89%)after the first l day post-operation. CONCLUSION:Stratified emulsion splitting technique has a practical application with little tissue damage, low capsular rupture rate and few complications for highly hard nuclear cataract patients and can bring a desirable outcome.
