Having experience from Norway, Denmark and South Africa as a senior ophthalmic surgeon; the answer is no. Having followed different international conferences; the answer is no. In the industrial world, ultrasound-like phacoemulsification is totally dominating. In the developing world, some phacoemulsification is in use, otherwise they just remove the cataract trough a big incision, using only water and suction, called Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction.
