[Comparison of phacoemulsification and manual extracapsular extraction of the lens].
In a prospective study, 60 patients have been operated on for cataract either with phacoemulsification or with manual extracapsular extraction of the lens. All the patients received the same type of PMMA intraocular lens. Visual results and incidence of angiographic cystoïd macular edema were similar in both groups. The mean endothelial cell loss was 10.7% with phacoemulsification and 7% with manual extracapsular extraction.
