In FLACS,cortical fibres get cut 200µ below CCC.Post FLACS,if there is miosis beyond the CCC,then bimanual I/A becomes difficult as there are no free cortical fibrils seen for aspiration as the bimanual I/A cannot hold on to the iris.So we modified the irrigating handle with a Y.This atraumatically retracts the iris during I/A to visualise the cortical end for safe aspiration all 360° around
