Abstract

Ten years have passed since the phacoemulsification procedure was introduced to ophthalmology. Enough experience has now been gained to evaluate its effectiveness. This report sets forth a list of case-selection criteria designed to avoid the most common complications associated with the operation. Average visual acuity results have been tabulated for the purpose of assisting those who are deciding whether or not ot adopt the procedure.
