No scientific data has been presented comparing the surgical efficiency of the 2.2, 2.8, and 3.0 mm diameter phacoemulsification sleeves for the Alcon Infinity 1.1 mm flare abs tip or the changes in surgical parameters which optimize their performance. Fifty patients per sleeve group will undergo standard cataract extraction with documentation of surgical parameters used for each group. The goal of the study is to determine the most efficient surgical settings for each sleeve diameter and determine statistically the surgical parameters which optimize the use of each phacoemulsification sleeve.
