Comparison of torsional and microburst longitudinal phacoemulsification: a prospective, randomized, masked clinical trial.

Background And Objective: To compare intraoperative performance and postoperative outcome of three phacoemulsification technologies in patients undergoing microcoaxial phacoemulsification through 2.2-mm corneal incisions.

Patients And Methods: The prospective, randomized, single-masked study included 360 eyes randomly assigned to torsional (Infiniti Vision System; Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX), microburst with longitudinal (Infiniti), or microburst with longitudinal (Legacy Everest, Alcon Laboratories) ultrasound.

Histomorphological and immunofluorescence evaluation of bimanual and coaxial phacoemulsification incisions in rabbits.

Purpose: To compare the changes in the histomorphology and immunofluorescence of collagen type I in clear corneal incisions (CCIs) at the end of bimanual and coaxial phacoemulsification in rabbits.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Methods: In this randomized study, the left eye of 30 rabbits had bimanual phacoemulsification through 1.
