The most common type of cataract was posterior subcapsular cataract in this study and it constitutes 35% eyes (35%). BCVA preoperative was 6/12 to finger counting at 1 m. 71% patients had preoperative BCVA of 6/36 or better. Total phaco time was less than 1 min in 33% of patients and in 60% of patients it was in between 1 to 2 minutes. Intraoperative complication occurred in 18% of total cases. The most common complication is emulsifying the nucleus and the conversion rate to convert in small incision cataract surgery was 5% (in 5 cases). The complication rate was more higher grade of nucleus density. The post operative BCVA was > 6/18 in 96% of cases and > 6/9 in 81% of cases.
