Abstract:
The author analyzed 728 cataract extractions performed through 4 mm incisions during January 1972 to January 1987. 230 of the operations were done by phaco-emulsification, 320 by lensectomy, and 178 by aspiration. 580 of the eyes were followed up 1-15 years, when 87.8% of the eyes had corrected vision of 0.06 or over, and 48.8% of 0.6 or over. The technical aspect of cataract extraction through a small incision was evaluated and corneal astigmatism thereof discussed.
