To evaluate the safety, visual outcome and complications of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) in the treatment of patients with brunescent and black cataract (BBC).
Black cataract is quite common in developing country like India. The biggest problem while dealing with these is, the nucleus is quite hard to break by phaco energy. As a result, post op Striate keratitis is very common. Along with intra op complications are also pretty high for these.
