Visual acuity (VA) following surgery is one of the key indicators for evaluating the quality of surgery. The present study was conducted to assess outcome of MSICS in adults. Materials & Methods: 104 patients of cataract of both genders were included. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and ocular examination details were recorded. Results: Out of 104 patients, males were 50 and females were 54. Intraoperative complications were hyphema in 2, iris prolapse in 1, and intraoperative miosis in 4 and iridodialysis in 3 cases. The post- operative complications were corneal odema in 1, retained cortical method in 2, uveitis in 4 and hypotony in 1 case. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
