Intratunnel phacofracture is a nucleus management technique
of the manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS), in
which the lens nucleus is broken inside a sclerocorneal
tunnel and removed. Intratunnel phacofracture MSICS can be
performed through an incision of 4 mm to 8mm at a superior,
superonasal, superotemporal, or temporal site. The
surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) depends on various
sclerocorneal incision sizes, shape and site. The incision
size and site are chosen according to the patient’s
preexisting corneal astigmatism. Neutralizing this
preexisting astigmatism by incision planning is a simple,
inexpensive way to correct corneal toricity without need for
expensive toric IOLs
