Is manual small incision cataract surgery affordable in the developing countries? A cost comparison with extracapsular cataract extraction.
AIM To compare the cost of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with conventional extracapsular cataract surgery (ECCE) in community eye care settings. METHOD A single masked randomised trial was used to compare the safety, efficacy, time, and patient satisfaction of surgery by both the techniques. The fixed facility and recurrent cost for the two procedures was calculated based on ...

متن کاملExtracapsular cataract extraction compared with small incision surgery by phacoemulsification: a randomised trial.
BACKGROUND Cataract extraction constitutes the largest surgical workload in ophthalmic units throughout the world. Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), through a large incision, with insertion of an intraocular lens has been the most widely used method from 1982 until recently. Technological advances have led to the increasing use of phacoemulsification (Phako) to emulsify and remove the l...
