Objective The objective of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures using the Catquest Questionnaire in patients undergoing phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included patients aged 40 years and older with cataracts classified as nuclear sclerosis (NS) grade 3 or higher. Demographic details were recorded and a comprehensive ophthalmological exam was done.

Background: One of the significant challenges that can arise during cataract surgery is the occurrence of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) and vitreous loss. It may result in different complications including cystoid macular edema, endophthalmitis, glaucoma, and considerably retinal detachment which consequently contributes to poor functional outcomes.
Methods: This study was a prospective double blinded randomized clinical trial including 42 patients with previous complicated cataract surgery including posterior capsular rupture and consequently vitreous loss that anterior vitrectomy was done for them.

We compared the visual performance and subjective outcomes of mini-monovision, crossed mini-monovision, and bilateral emmetropia using enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). This retrospective study involved 200 eyes of 100 patients who underwent surgery for bilateral age-related cataract using an enhanced monofocal IOL (TECNIS Eyhance). The dominant eye was identified before surgery.
