However, it requires a considerable skill, relatively longer learning curve than conventional techniques for cataract extraction and still have some drawbacks as endothelial trauma and corneal wound burns.Over the last few years, scientists and investigators have been struggling to search for alternative energy sources to ultrasound for cataract surgery.
