1. A method for managing occlusions during phacoemulsification surgery, the method comprising:
providing, by a surgical console having at least one system bus communicatively connected to at least one computing processor capable of accessing at least one computing memory associated with the at least one computing processor, a vacuum system capable of providing vacuum pressure between a minimum pressure and a maximum pressure;
receiving a first pressure threshold setting and a second pressure threshold setting, wherein the first pressure threshold setting is greater than the minimum pressure, the second pressure threshold setting is greater than the first pressure threshold setting, and the second pressure threshold setting is less than the maximum pressure;
providing a user of the surgical console a non-visual alert in response to the vacuum pressure being greater than the first pressure threshold setting; and
automatically reducing the vacuum pressure in response to the second pressure threshold setting being exceeded, wherein the non-visual alert is provided before automatically reducing the vacuum pressure.
