AIM: To observe the operative treatment results on cataract patients with small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation.

METHODS: Totally, 166 cases(194 eyes)of cataract patients with small incision non- phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS: The best corrected visual acuity of all patients was significantly enhanced. The best corrected visual acuity >0.5 in 152 eyes(78.4%), 0.5-0.1 in 37 eyes(19.0%), lower than 0.1 in 5 eyes(2.6%).

CONCLUSION: Small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation has surgery time short, easily to grasp, the incision closed well and no need for suture, complication few, rapid rehabilitation of visual acuity, good outcome and other advantages.
