“…16 Surgeon experience, choice of surgical method, and the quality of the equipment have all been shown to relate to complications of cataract surgery. 17,18 Complication rates vary by type, and posterior capsular rupture (PCR) is reportedly the most prevalent. 19Y21 The latest Iranian Cataract Surgery Survey in Iran was conducted in 2011, and its details have already been published.…”

This study evaluated the prevalence of intraoperative complications of cataract surgery for the first time in Tehran Province. The prevalence of complications was high in this study. To achieve the goals of the Vision 2020 Initiative and improve surgical quality, it is necessary to minimize complication rates. Factors to note for decreasing complication rates include type of surgery, surgeon experience, and patient age.

“…The high cost of machine and longer learning curve [24,27] are potential drawbacks of phacoemulsification when compared with MSICS and these aspects make it less appropriate for limited resource settings. The excellent patient value profile (smaller incision, less astigmatism, earlier rehabilitation, reduced dependence on spectacles) of phacoemulsification makes it the preferred technique for affluent healthcare systems where cataract surgery is performed before the lenses are mature.…”

Aim: To compare different technique of nucleus delivery in small manual incision cataract surgery,regarding their safety and intra operative complication. Material & Methods: A total of 285 patients with cataract undergoing SICS with posterior chamber IOL implantation were selected. Patients were randomly divided into 7 groups of nucleus delivery. All of the patients were followed up on first postoperative day and discharge. Patients were advised regular follow up at 1 st week, 4 th week and 6 th week. Results: Out of total 285 patients 68 (23.86%) patients had intraoprative complications for all the techniques. There was no intraoperative difficulty to the surgeon for delivery of nucleus by various techniques in 210(73.68%) of cases. Group 1 (wire vectis) had minimum intraoperative complications whereas group 2 had maximum.31 (10.88%)had grade 1 (minimal) difficulty intraoperetively. 25 (8.77%)cases had grade 2 (moderate) difficulty. 19 (6.67) cases had grade 3(abandoned) difficulty. Conclusion: By adjusting parameters like size of cornean incision, hydrodissection or debulking of nucleus before delivery of nucleus in different grades of hardness of cataract, a surgeon may choose any one technique in which he or she is comfortable. Manual small incision Cataract surgery with its low complication rate has now come to be established surgical procedures for cataract surgery.
