title: Lens aspiration.
abstract: Since the King Hussein Medical Centre was opened in 973, lens aspiration has been adopted as the standard method of treating cataracts in children and young people under 30 years of age, and has been used in a personal series of 126 eyes of 88 patients. The results support the opinion that the surgical technique of continuous infusion with a two-way cannula is a satisfactory method of treating soft cataract.
