Reflux Appearance of solution above the upper gelatin layer observed on intraoperative OCT and/or microscope recordings (visual observation).
Injection duration Time in seconds from start to stop of the injection pump.
Time in seconds from start to stop of the injection pump Amplitude of movements of the injection cannula extremity over a short time of 0.02 second (μm) in the Z axis.
Hole enlargement Presence of a noncircular hole in the upper gelatin layer observed on intraoperative OCT and/or microscope recordings after retraction of the instrument.
