  • Phacoemulsification versus extracapsular cataract extraction: where do we stand?

    Pershing S, Kumar A. Curr Opin Ophthalmol. 2011; 22 (1): 37-42

    Cataract surgery at present is divisible into two general techniques: manual extracapsular cataract extraction and phacoemulsification--with ECCE further separated into the traditional form and small-incision cataract surgery. This review will discuss updates in surgical techniques, outcome comparisons, cost analysis, and the continued role of extracapsular cataract extraction in Western countries.
