A stub with no independent sources. A quick Google search revealed nothing more than sales websites with this product. There are some videos of this product in use, and there is a "news" article that mostly reports what the creator said. I do not see any significant and independent coverage of this medical tool in reliable sources. William2001(talk) 22:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Weak keep, the introduction of this paper says: . Several papers discuss this technique and derivations – Thjarkur (talk) 11:02, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , I'm still unsure about this article meeting WP:GNG, which states that sources should be secondary. It seems to me that most of the papers are primary sources? Perhaps a redirect to a cataract surgery-related article would do as the article barely contains anything for a merge? William2001(<b style="color:#008080">talk</b>) 22:12, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * A few more mentions here: and in this opthalmology textbook . The paper by the inventor would be primary, but later independent academic papers which summarize previous knowledge in their introduction are secondary-ish although not the best. This could redirect to, but merging it would give undue weight to this niche technique. – Thjarkur (talk) 22:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
