ABSTRACT
Cataract extraction, being the most frequent ocular surgical procedure, demands our best effort at maintaining satisfactory outcomes. Phacoemulsification is not readily available to most Opthalmologists in the region. It is also not necessarily the best technique for many of our patients who present with dense cataracts. A customized surgical plan will ensure that we adopt the most appropriate approach in each case. The following should be considered (a) Need for sedation-route, quantum and timing (b) Anaesthesia technique (c) Surgical approach depends on -Is the cataract mature or not? -Adult or Paediatric, -Phaco-emulsification; manual extra-capsular cataract extraction; non-phaco small incision techniques. -Capsular opening and use of ICG or methylene blue, -Viscoelastic, -Astigmatism. Adoption of an individualized surgical plan will ensure preparedness in the operating room but adaptability may be dictated by inoperative changes. (AU)
