A Prospective Multicenter Study To Assess The Clinical Outcomes Of Current Phacoemulsification Approach To Cataract Extraction Versus The Micor System Device

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cataract Surgery

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of current phacoemulsification approaches to cataract extraction involving high-frequency thermogenic energy versus the use of the MICOR System device using low-energy segment removal with a micro-interventional irrigation/aspiration port to evacuate the lens in subjects undergoing routine cataract surgery.
