A survey of current cataract surgical techniques.

ABSTRACT

A survey of 674 ophthalmologists in the United States confirmed that intraocular implants, along with extracapsular extraction and ambulatory surgery, are emerging as widely practiced surgical techniques. The data were analyzed geographically and statistically significant differences by region were found. More ophthalmic surgeons are likely to use both extracapsular extractions and ambulatory surgery in the future.
