Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology (IJCEO) is open access, a peer-reviewed medical journal, published quarterly, online, and in print, by the Innovative Education and Scientific Research Foundation (IESRF) since 2015. To fulfil our aim of rapid dissemination of knowledge, we publish articles ‘Ahead of Print’ on acceptance. In addition, the journal allows free access (Open Access) to its content, which is likely to attract more readers and citations of articles published in IJCEO.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study is to compare visual outcome and complications of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with posterior chamber IOL implantation (PC-IOL) and phacoemulsification with posterior chamber IOL implantation for age related cataract. The study compares the visual outcome and complications of MSICS and phacoemulsification with PC-IOL performed in 80 eyes at M & J Western Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (M&J WRIO) Ahmedabad, by assessing post operative Best corrected Visual acuity (BCVA), Surgically Induced astigmatism (SIA) and complications.
Materials and Methods: This was an Institutional based cohort interventional randomized, prospective study. MSICS and Phacoemulsification was performed on 80 eyes at M & J WRIO. The intraoperative complications were documented. The parameters that were examined on 1 postoperative day, 1 week, and 6 weeks postoperatively included uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6 weeks, intra ocular pressure by non -contact tonometry and keratometry at 6 weeks to rule out SIA.
Statistical analysis was performed using chi square test. p value <0>
Results: MSICS & phacoemulsification had similar visual outcomes post-operatively. Phacoemulsification group produced less mean SIA (1.27 D) compared to MSICS group (1.29 D) and lesser (5%) complications than the MSICS group (10%). The comparison of all three parameters was not statistically significant between the two groups.
Conclusions: Visual outcomes, SIA and complications were comparably the same in MSICS & phacoemulsification. Therefore, MSICS can be excellent alternative to phacoemulsification.
Keywords: Phacoemulsification, Manual small incision cataract surgery, Visual outcome, Surgically Induced astigmatism.
