Zusammenfassung:The invention is generally directed to systems and methods for ophthalmic surgery, and more particularly to systems and methods for phacoemulsification using vacuum-based aspiration pumps. In accordance with one embodiment, a vacuum-based phacoemulsification system, having a handpiece, includes a subsystem to detect an occlusion occurring at the handpiece during operation. L'invention concerne d'une manière générale des systèmes et des procédés de chirurgie ophtalmique et, plus particulièrement, des systèmes et des procédés de phacoémulsification utilisant des pompes d'aspiration à base de vide. Selon un mode de réalisation, un système de phacoémulsification à base de vide ayant un embout à main, comprend un sous-système pour détecter une occlusion apparaissant au niveau de l'embout à main pendant l'opération.
