This clinical trial compares two phacoemulsification systems used in a bilateral cataract surgery subjects, in order to study CDE and Ultrasound time during cataract removal
Unity and Centurion are two phacoemulsification systems routinely used during cataract surgery to assist the surgeon in removing the cataractous lens from the eye. This clinical trial aims to compare the performance of Unity versus Centurion during standard cataract surgery. The primary objective of this study is to explore CDE and Ultrasound time during cataract extraction compared to Centurion. This study will enroll 30 subjects (60 eyes) diagnosed with Nuclear Sclerosis cataract who require cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes.
