Abstract

Wound incompetence may increase the risk of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery. In phacoemulsification with corneal incisions, an inverted flap of posterior corneal tissue, a corneal tongue, may prevent normal anatomical apposition of the surgical wound edges leading to potential wound incompetence. Preventing or correcting inversion of corneal tissue into a corneal wound will prevent the corneal tissue from creating a barrier for tissue apposition during healing.
