title: Bimanual microincisional cataract surgery technique and clinical outcome.
abstract: Bimanual microincisional cataract surgery has been introduced recently as a technique for cataract surgery and it is gaining interest of many cataract surgeons in the world. Over the last few years many changes were made in the phacoemulsification machines and the intraocular lenses design which allowed bimanual microincisional cataract surgery to be safer and more efficient. The purpose of this review is to introduce the technique of bimanual microincisional cataract surgery and to review all the prospective randomized studies comparing bimanual microincisional cataract surgery and standard phacoemulsification in term of safety and efficacy parameters.
