Purpose
To obereve the efficiency, safety and learning curve in all grades and types of cataract.
Setting
Done in 500 cases. Patients divided into two groups (250 with stop and chop and 250 torsional C Chop). Follow up was done for 1st POD, 1st Week and 4th week. Compared complication rate, overall CDE and learning curve.
Methods
Done in 500 cases. Patients divided into two groups (250 with stop and chop and 250 torsional C Chop). Follow up was done for 1st POD, 1st Week and 4th week. Compared complication rate, overall CDE and learning curve.
Results
Age group 50-70 years. 60% male and 40% female population. As compared to SNC (stop and chop) complication rate was reduced (1.2% Vs 4%). Over all CDE was reduced from 10 to 7. Reduction in learning curve was also reduced.
Conclusions
The new torsional C Chop technique is more effective and safer as compared to SNC. Less learning curve was also seen.
