Despite striking technical advance in recent years, eye surgeons are still haunted by the fear that during removal of a cataract the casing of the lens will break and spill some of its contents into the eyeball. Several ophthalmic surgeons are now using an especially small probe (cryostylet) in the eye. Inserted under local anesthesia, the stylet adheres to the cataractous lens, freezes it, and permits removal with no danger of spillage, because there is no liquid left to spill, and no damage to the remainder of the eye particularly important for patients with sight in only...
