Comments[edit]

Man, this is by FAR my favorite wikipedia page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.253.214.208 (talk • contribs) 00:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Suggested change[edit]

During the description of the removal of the front of the capsule, would it valuable to name this part of the procedure (Capsulorhexis) and link to the wiki page on it or it this too detailed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.237.59 (talk) 14:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 07:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Phacoemulsification[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Phacoemulsification's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
