TL;DR
The frequency of major and minor complications fell sharply after the first 150 operations and was maintained, and may provide a guide for beginning phacoemulsification surgeons and a basis for experienced surgeons to compare their performance outcomes.
Abstract
The frequency of major and minor complications fell sharply after the first 150 operations and was maintained. This study may provide a guide for beginning phacoemulsification surgeons and a basis for experienced surgeons to compare their performance outcomes.

OphthalmologyVariation in Cataract Surgery Practice and Clinical Outcomes
146 Citations1994Oliver D. Schein, Earl P. Steinberg +7 more
No difference in clinical outcomes, as measured by change in visual acuity or occurrence of postoperative adverse events, can be attributed to performance of phacoemulsification versus ECCE or to the reported annual volume of cataract surgery of the surgeon.

139 Citations1995Kristin J. Tarbet, Nick Mamalis +3 more
With proper training and supervision, the rate of surgical complications for residents learning phacoemulsification is acceptably low when compared with the rate for extracapsular cataract extraction.

96 Citations1989Hugh R. Taylor, Sheila K. West
This clinical grading system shows good reproducibility and compares well with the grading of lens opacities in photographs and should prove to be of considerable use in clinical and epidemiological studies of cataract.

26 Citations1987Ian C. Francis, R. MACHER STEVE SCHU +1 more
This paper describes an assisted local anaesthetic technique which is used almost exclusively for extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implant surgery over the last 12 months and suggests that the technique is systemically safe.

16 Citations1993Ian C. Francis, Simon Irvine +4 more
In this series of one surgeon's first 100 cases of endocapsular phacoemulsification cataract surgery (EPECS), believed to be the first truly prospective study of its kind, 86% of patients achieved corrected vision of 6/6 to 6/4; 96% achieved vision of6/12 or better; and excluding those with pre-existing pathology, 99% achieved 6/12.

The results achieved using the SI-30NB lens with a small incision phaco procedure were excellent, with 95% of cases achieving corrected vision of 6/12 or better, and very few cases have had problems with posterior capsular opacification.
