Abstract
While ultrasound based cataract removal through a small incision has been the standard form of cataract removal in the developed world for several decades, the technology available is constantly evolving with many claims of superiority made with little clinical evidence to back such claims. I will describe an approach that has allowed us to duplicate the removal of cataract segments with an in vitro model to finally determine what actually generates increased efficiency and suggest what may result in safety concerns at the same time. In a few short years we have published many peer reviewed articles using this technique. The published as well as our latest findings will be presented.
