AIM: To discuss the therapeutic results of phacoemulsification for cataract in the treatment of cataract patients.

METHODS:Totally 48 cases of the cataract patients who were admitted to our hospital between March of 2010 and December of 2011 were chosen as treatment group to be treated with phacoemulsification. Another 48 cataract patients in our hospital during the same period were chosen as control group to be treated with traditional phacoemulsification.

RESULTS: The total efficiency of the treatment group was obviously higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: The therapeutic results of phaco-emulsification for cataract have significant effect and are worthy of promotion.
