In the article titled “Comparison of corneal endothelial cell loss during manual small-incision cataract surgery using viscoelastic-assisted nucleus removal versus continuous balanced salt solution plus technique - Randomized controlled trial” published in pages 3960-3966, Issue 11, Vol. 70 of Indian Journal of Ophthalmology,[1] the correct version of group 1 and 2 can be read as:
Page 2 (Line 9-17) Group 1 (Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices, n = 103): The patients underwent cataract surgery by MSICS technique, and nucleus removal was performed by using viscoexpression technique with 2 % Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) (2% Occugel, Ophtechnics Ltd). Fig. 1 (c,d).
Group 2 (basal salt solution [BSS], n = 101): The patients underwent cataract surgery by MSICS technique, and nucleus removal was performed by Hydroexpression technique with BSS (BBS Plus) {Intasol Plus 500 ml Intravenous (IV) fluid; Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd, India} [Fig. 1(a,b)].
Page 3 (Line 11-13) Occugel, Ophtechnics Ltd) {Viscoexpression}. In Group B, nucleus delivery was performed by using BSS plus (Intasol Plus 500 ml Intravenous (IV) fluid; Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd, India) {Hydroexpression}.
