Cataract is a major eye disease in Bangladesh as well as many countries in the world. Each and every year many patients suffer from cateract. Age-related cataract is a major cause of blindness and visual morbidity worldwide. It is therefore important to establish the optimal technique of lens removal in cataract surgery. In Bangladesh, eye care services are provided in hospital based clinical services, which are usually based in urban areas, usually without outreach facilities, surgical eye camps and, more recently, comprehensive eye care, which links activities in the community with primary eye care and tertiary services. Surgical eye camps have been popular because the services are usually provided free. However, the present study has conducted to compare outcomes of phacoemulsification [Phaco] with manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) for age-related cataract, to assess intraoperative and postoperative complications related to these 2 types of cataract surgery and to compare the financial cost between two types of cataract surgery. The study was survey type. The study was conducted in the area of Dhaka city. The study was conducted at National Institute of Ophthalmology Hospital Dhaka. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected from the patients of the study and secondary data were collected from books, research reports, journals, internet, websites etc. Purposive sampling method was used for the study. One hundred respondents of Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery were selected and 100 respondents of Phacoemulsification were selected. So, total 200 respondents were selected for the study. Questionnaire and request letters were used for data collection. Data were collected by face to face interview with the patients.From the study it can be concluded that Phacoemulcification is better than MSICS. In case of Phacoemulcification visual acuity is more, less complications occur during operation and after operation in Phacoemulcification but more complications occur during operation and after operation in MSICS, few pain occur in Phacoemulcification but much pain occur in MSICS, less time is required in Phacoemulcification but more time is required in MSICS, patients had to stay few days in hospital after operation in Phacoemulcification but patients had to stay more days in hospital after operation. In Phacoemulcification cost is more but cost is less in MSICS. Regarding complications less in Phaco than MSICS. For cataract treatment, latest cataract operation technology is practicing in Bangladesh. In this process latest technology is used for better result. Conventional treatment of cataract operation is time consuming and less effective. As a result, treatment failure is reported. In an attempt to fulfill the need for a reliable and quick treatment cataract operation was proposed.
