Phacoemulsification is a variation of what procedure?
Phacoemulsification is a variation of extracapsular cataract extraction
When is an intraocular lens inserted during phacoemulsification?
The insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) usually immediately follows phacoemulsification.
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 distinguishes the phacoemulsification method of cataract surgery?
Phacoemulsification. This type of extracapsular extraction needs a very small incision, resulting in faster healing.
What has the author Jared M Emery written?
Jared M. Emery has written: 'Phacoemulsification and aspiration of cataracts' -- subject(s): Cataract, Cataract Extraction, Methods, Phacoemulsification, Surgery

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.
