The objective is to assess the efficiency (as measured by phaco time, aspiration time, and fluid use) of the hybrid tip in removing cataract grade 3 \& 4 in high and low intraocular pressure (IOP) settings.
This study is a Single site, single-masked, randomized, prospective, observational study of the efficiency of the hybrid tip in removing cataract grade 3 \& 4 in high and low intraocular pressure (IOP) settings. Subjects will be assessed pre-operatively, operatively and at 1 day and 1 week post-operatively. Clinical evaluations will include measurement of visual acuity, central corneal thickness, IOP, visual analog pain scale, and slit lamp examination.
