    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) MENGUZENO SALE; Dr. D. B. PATIL
    Cataracts are the most common cause of treatable visual deficits and blindness in dogs. Phacoemulsification has become an art of surgical procedure for management of cataract surgery. The present clinical study on phacoemulsification was conducted on 27 dogs to remove the cataractous lens. Out of the 27 dogs, 10 were subjected to phacoemulsification and the rest (17) by Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE) technique. During phacoemulsification four cases were converted to ECCE due to very hard nuclear cataracts causing prolonged phacoemulsification time and blockage of the tubing during operation. A high incidence of cataract was seen in male (62.96%) dogs, > 8 years (74.07%) with mature cataract (77.78%) and senility (81.48%) was the major cause. Prior to the surgery, all dogs were subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination and routine haematology and serum biochemical analysis. Intraoperative complications observed were iris bleeding (2), pupillary constriction (1), chemosis (4), vitreal prolapse (2) and iris bulging (1). Post-operative
