Nucleus drop following phacoemulsification surgery: Incidence, risk factors and clinical outcomes.

Purpose: To determine the incidence, risk factors and clinical outcomes in patients with nucleus drop (ND) following phacoemulsification surgery at a tertiary care ophthalmic institute.

Methods: Medical records of patients with ND during phacoemulsification between January'2019 and December'2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Incidence of ND was calculated overall, and according to surgical expertise levels and surgical steps.
