Objective: To understand the safety and effect of small-incision non-ultrasound cataract surgery in the activities of restoration of sight and poverty alleviation. Feng Xiangyu, Ophthalmology Department, Lujiang County People’s Hospital METHODS: Small-incision non-ultrasound cataract surgery was performed on 36 cases of 36-eye cataract restoration subjects, with daily drug changes and treatment in the outpatient clinic for one week after surgery, and observation of ocular and systemic conditions, and comparison with 37 cases of 37-eye large-incision surgery performed at the same time.

Compared with the large incision surgery performed at the same time, there were more postoperative bare visual acuity improvement, less astigmatism, and fewer complications, which were safer.
Conclusion: Small incision non-ultrasonic surgery has less traumatic tissue damage, less postoperative reaction, faster recovery, reduced surgical-derived astigmatism and suture-derived astigmatism, good restoration of vision, no special equipment is required, and postoperative treatment is safe in outpatient settings.
