    Active fluidics technology allows phacoemulsification at lower intraocular pressure (IOP), reducing patient discomfort during surgery.

  • 2

    In a study of 130 patients, fewer in the Active Fluidics Group required supplemental anesthesia compared to the gravity-based group.

  • 3

    Median pain scores during surgery were significantly lower in the Active Fluidics Group, indicating improved patient comfort.

  • 4

    Active fluidics resulted in less early postoperative corneal edema, with a smaller increase in central corneal thickness.

  • 5

    Both groups maintained comparable safety and visual outcomes, with no intraoperative complications reported.
