Comparison of Centurion® Vision System With Balanced Tip and the Infiniti® Vision System With the Mini Flared Kelman (MFK) Tip During Cataract Extraction Surgery of Hard Lenses

Comparison of Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE) and Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) Fluid Used With the Centurion® With the 45° Degree Balanced Ultrasound (U/S) Tip vs the Centurion® With Mini Flared Kelman U/S Tip vs the Infiniti® With Mini Flared Kelman U/S Tip on Hard Lenses

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Centurion® Vision System (CVS) used with the 45° Balanced Tip will result in less Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE) than the lnfiniti® Vision System (IVS) used with the 45° Mini-Flared Kelman (MFK) tip during cataract extraction surgery via phacoemulsification of cataract grades NII- NIV [Lens opacities classification system II (LOCSII)].
