PURPOSE: To compare the intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes of cataract surgery performed with torsional mode and conventional ultrasound mode using the Infiniti Vision System (Alcon Laboratories).SETTING: Cataract Service, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun-Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, ChinaMETHODS: In this randomized comparative study, 525 eyes were assigned to phacoemulsification by torsional mode or conventional ultrasound (US) mode. The surgery was performed by an experienced Surgeon, and the outcomes were evaluated by an examiner who was masked to treatment assignments. Primary outcome measures were US time (UST), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), and surgical complications. Patients were seen 1, 7, and 30 days after surgery. Postoperative outcome measures were the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the change in corneal clarity, central corneal thickness (CCT), and enclothelial cell count.RESULTS: The US group had 262 eyes and the torsional group, 263 eyes. All patients completed the follow-up visits. In the eyes with nucleus density grades of 1, 2, 3, and 4, the mean UST was 10.25 seconds +/- 7.4 (SD), 25.14 +/- 5.5 seconds, 36.45 +/- 8.3 seconds, and 61.44 +/- 17.8, respectively, in the US group and 8.32 +/- 6.8 seconds, 18.45 +/- 7.2 seconds, 29.48 +/- 12.4 seconds, and 48.39 +/- 20.3 seconds, respectively, in the torsional group (P
