Phacoemulsification is the surgery of choice in modern day cataract surgery. It cannot be denied, however, that manual small incision cataract surgery or conventional extra capsular cataract extraction plays a vital role in certain situations with minimal or no intra and post operative complications. Unfortunately, this realisation only gets emphasised with the experience of varied surgical complications. Although there is no actual consensus on what type of cataract surgery is best in different clinical scenarios, this video tries to illustrate, through a play along with surgical video clips, how a surgeon’s decision on the choice of surgery for managing a hard cataract can determine a better surgical outcome.
