  4. Abstract:
  5. Ultrasound waves have been used in these days for most surgeries. They are applied to remove body tissues through surgery, for example in removing eye lens in cataract surgery. In a nutshell, a 3mm incision near cornea has been created and then after, a folded lens will be implanted and the patient can be released soon after the operation. The process is done by a vibrating metal tip in order to emulsify the lenses and the small particles will aspirate the debris through the hollow center of the tip. The problem of this procedure in some cases is thermal damage. This research addresses the aforementioned problem through an important parameter, different operating modes of the system. The proposed in-vitro approach has been investigated in details. © 2008 IEEE
