1. A method of controlling intraocular pressure with a microsurgical system, comprising the steps of:

  • providing an infusion chamber containing an irrigating fluid;

    selecting a desired intraocular pressure;

    pressurizing said infusion chamber with a pressurized gas to provide irrigating fluid to a surgical device;

    measuring a flow rate of said fluid within a fluid line fluidly coupled to said surgical device;

    providing a signal corresponding to said measured flow rate to a computer;

    calculating a predicted intraocular pressure with said computer in response to said signal;

    adjusting a level of said pressurized gas in response to a second signal from said computer to maintain said predicted intraocular pressure proximate said desired intraocular pressure.
