A multipronged approach to prevent Argentinian flag sign in intumescent cataracts
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018 In this communication, we describe a technique for creation of a single stage, adequately sized capsulorrhexis in intumescent cataracts by depressurizing the anterior and posterior intralenticular compartments in a nonleaky anterior chamber (AC) to ...

Vacuum rhexis – A novel capsulorhexis technique for white cataracts
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 Capsulorhexis in white intumescent cataract is often associated with extension leading to radial tears or biradial extension “Argentinian flag sign” and associated complications. We describe a novel technique of managing this situation.
