What has the author Jared M Emery written?

What is the morbidity and mortality rate of phacoemulsification?
Phacoemulsification has taken the previous risks from cataract surgery, making it a much safer procedure. Before phacoemulsification, death after cataract surgery was still rare.Other serious complications such as blindness also have been reduced.

What is accomplished during a phacoemulsification cataract extraction?
Ultrasonic vibration is applied to the lens to break it up into very small pieces which are then aspirated out of the eye with suction by the ophthalmologist.
What is Conventional Cataract Surgery?
Conventional cataract surgery, or phacoemulsification, is a well-established surgical technique widely practiced for decades. It involves using a small incision, manually removing the cataract-diseased lens, and implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) to restore vision. The surgeon uses handheld surgical instruments to perform each step during the procedure.
