ABSTRACT A fluidic flow system is provided for use in irrigation of the anterior chamber of the eye during ultrasonic fragmentation of a cataract therein, The system comprises a handpiece with an ultrasonically vibrated hollow tip and an annular passage around the tip used to introduce fluid for irrigation purposes. The irrigation system comprises a fluid supply bottle at a predetermined height above the eye, and administration set attached to the bottle, and an inflow hose attached to the intake manifold of the hand- piece and in fluid communication with the annular passage. The fluid is supplied at a pre-selected pressure of from about 10 to 100 mm Hg and the inflow means has a flow resistivity of from 0.42 to 18.5 mm Hg per ml. per min. The flow of irrigation fluid from the source into the chamber is gen- erally limited to a maximum predetermined rate. A pressure relief valve in fluid communication with the inflow hose is responsive to a predetermined pressure between about 10 and 100 mm Hg in the inflow means for limiting the flow rate of the irrigation fluid more precisely to the predetermined rate.
