Q2.	Which operation is the best for cataract removal
Ans.	The conventional cataract surgery with an intra-ocular lens has been perfected over the years and has very few complications. However phakomulsification (a newer technique) offers some advantages i.e. early rehabilitation and suture less surgery with consequent less astigmatism.
