<p>A phacoemulsification system (100) with enhanced user utility and tactile operability includes a control unit (102) and a handpiece with a needle (106) and a vibrating unit (108) that is configured to ultrasonically vibrate the needle (106). The handpiece (104) includes a needle (106) and a vibrating unit (108) for ultrasonically vibrating the needle (106) according to a variable parameter, such as frequency, shape, size, duty cycle, and so on. The control unit (102) is configured to adjust the value of the parameter. A monitor (132) is operably connected to the control unit (102) for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes an adjustable control element (136), such as a slider bar, radio buttons, or handles, and an indication element (138) that indicates the value of the parameter, either numerically or graphically. An interface device, such as a touchscreen, a mouse, or a keyboard, is operably connected to the control unit (102) for enabling a user to adjust the control element (136). The control unit (102) is configured to change the value of the parameter at least in response to adjustments of the control element (136) by the user.</p> |
