Our Experience with Active Sentry and Centurion Ozil handpieces

Abstract

Evalutions of the results of 200 eyes of 129 patients. In 100 eyes handpiece Active Sentry was used and in 100 eyes handpiece Centurion Ozil was used.

The intraocular pressure during surgery (IOP), cumulative disspated energy (CDE), ultrasound time (U/S time) and estimated consumption of balanced salt solution (BSS) were evaluated. Results proved that using handpiece Active Sentry enabled statistically significantly decrease IOP during phacoemulsification and eliminated post-occlusion surge.
