Bilateral cataract extractions in one session. A report on 134 consecutive cases.
One hundred and thirty-four bilateral cataract extractions are discussed. Intra-operative and short-term postoperative complications are compared with those of unilateral cataract extraction. Bilateral cataracts may be extracted in one session for socio-economic reasons, since the incidence of bilateral postoperative endophthalmitis is low.
