  • Complications associated with cataract surgery included posterior capsule rupture, Zonule of Zinn rupture, dropped nucleus, iris prolapse, continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis incomplete and capsule tear.

  • P values were calculated by using an unpaired t-test.

  • BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; IOP, intraocular pressure; JCI, Joint Commission International; pre-PT, preprocedure/surgery time; PT, procedure/surgical time; post-PT, postprocedure/surgery time; TPT, total procedure/surgery time.
