The authors describe the intraoperative and post-operative outcomes of phacoemulsification in terms of cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), total ultrasound (US) time, torsional US time, total fluid use, percentage change in central corneal thickness and endothelial cell count in the two groups. A comparative evaluation has been made between the two groups involving the Kelman mini-flared tip and the Intrepid balanced phaco tip using the Infiniti Ozil IP Vision system (Alton Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) as hasbeen explicitly mentioned in the article under the "Methods" section.
