	Slide 1. A large air bubble is injected into the anterior chamber using a 30-gauge cannula.
	Slide 2. Indocyanine green solution is spread onto the anterior lens capsule and under the air bubble via a 30-gauge cannula.
	Slide 3. A clear corneal incision is completed using a keratome blade.
	Slide 4. The capsulorhexis is nearly complete using a capsulorhexis forceps. Note the ease in distinguishing the stained capsule from the lens.
	Slide 5. A perfect curvilinear and indocyanine green-staining capsulorhexis is seen, clearly demarcating the rim of the capsulorhexis and the unstained cataract.
	Slide 6. An irrigation or aspiration procedure is performed to remove the cataract.
