Introduction: Phacoemulsification is a state of the art surgery for cataract removal. Phacoemulsification involves removing the opacified crystalline lens via emulsification and aspiration followed by implantation of an intraocular lens. The surgery though simple has a learning curve. We designed a study to document the visual outcome and complications of resident operated phacoemulsification cases done by third year residents in a regional institute of ophthalmology. Aim: We designed a study to document the visual outcome and complications of resident operated phacoemulsification cases done by third year residents in a regional institute of ophthalmology. Material and Methods: Phacoemulsification was performed by Junior Resident under guidance of one Assistant Professor. The visual outcome and complications of the procedure were noted. Results: We report good visual outcome with few complications in supervised resident performed phacoemulsification. Discussion: Phacoemulsification can be performed by Junior Resident in a supervised manner with good postoperative results. This has also been documented by other studies. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification can be performed by Junior Resident in a supervised manner with good post operative results.
