Causes of suboptimal corrected visual acuity following phacoemulsification in a teaching university hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Kasr Al Ainy Hospital achieved CVA 6/9 or more in 69.3% and CVA 6/18 or more in 81.3% of patients. The capsular complication rate was high at 23.3%. The high complication rate is attributed to the nature of the teaching hospital where most surgeons were in their learning periods. PMID: 27405282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
