title: Phacoemulsification : our experience at a large Military Hospital.
abstract: Cataract surgery by means of phacoemulsification was started at a large Military Hospital in March 2001. First 70 cases in whom phacoemulsification was performed between 15 March 2001 and 31 December 2001 were followed-up and evaluated. The surgical techniques used, complications and post-operative recovery following this new surgical technique have been discussed. Our experience of conversion from standard extracapsular cataract extraction to phacoemulsification has also been shared.
