Cataract surgery in low incoming countries represents a huge economic burden. Which are the best strategies in terms of kind of surgery and which kind of phacomachine will you suggest to use.
Thank you
The best option for low -income countries is small incision cataract surgerty- SICS. Outcomes are comparable and not lower to phaco.
Regarding equipment for phaco amd vitrectomy for same conditiones is OERTLY machine.
Good luck !

I believe that all machines are equal BUT them need to be setted in different way for each surgeon, in my opinion reusable or resterizable tubes must not to be used for endophthalmitis prevention.
oertli phaco machine is the best for this job, I've friend in yemen who perform 700 case on one cassete, and 1500 case without changing the phaco tip. personaly I've tried this machine it was not convenient for me as I am using infinity from Alcon
Infinity is the best choice. Cassette is reasonable cost and safe as regards endophthalmitis. Vitrector tube can be reused after autoclave
OERTLI will be the best option as far as reuse of cassette and tips after autoclaving is concerned. PER CASE COST is very minimal as compared to other phaco machine without compromising quality of machine.
