Abstract
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 of 6/12 or better; and excluding those with pre‐existing pathology, 99% achieved 6/12. Posterior capsular rupture occurred in 11 cases, with vitrectomy being required in eight cases. Detailed analysis of the 100 cases is provided.
