title: Phacoemulsification devices: a consumer's report.
abstract: This report deals with our evaluation of six phacoemulsification devices tested at the Neumann Eye Institute (two additional devices have been evaluated since this paper was presented at the ASCRS meeting). The devices were compared for operating cost of the first 1,000 cases, dependability, ease of usage, and level of safety for the patient.
