Abstract
- Phacofragmentation is one of the method of extracapsular lens extraction using ultrasonic frequency. We have used this method, sometimes inconjunction with anterior vitrectomy since April, 1980 for 10 eyes of 10 cataract or early adult cataract. Our machines for this purpose is one of the Girard type phacofragmetor, Berkeley Model 820 Fragmatome(TM), in conjunction with Berkeley Model 800A Ocutome(R). We have had quite good results after operation and we are sure this method was preferable operation at least in above mentioned cases. This is an our preliminary report and it will be necessary to perform operation to many cataract patients and to determine longterm effects of the operation.
