Phacoemulsification uses ultrasonic power to fragment the cataract into smaller pieces thus allowing it to be removed through a small incision. Some machines use laser to perform the same function. However the laser is more suitable for soft cataracts and hard cataracts are generally difficult to remove with laser and will take a longer time.
