Bacterial contamination of intraocular lens surgery.
One hundred sterile intraocular lenses were placed on the external eye of 50 patients during cataract surgery. Half of the specimens were cultured for bacteria, the other half were examined under the light microscope after fixing and staining. A bacterial contamination rate of 26% was recorded. This is significantly higher than that found in conjunctival swabs (6%) or irrigation specimens (8%) ...
متن کاملHeparinised intraocular infusion and bacterial contamination in cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Heparin in solution reduces bacterial adhesion to intraocular lenses and a lower incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis has been reported with the use of heparin coated lenses. The safety of adding low molecular weight heparin to the infusion fluid during routine cataract surgery was investigated. Any direct antibacterial effect was looked for by culturing anterior chamber f...
متن کاملBroken intraocular lens during cataract surgery.
A case of planned routine extracapsular cataract extraction is described where surgery was complicated peroperatively by fracture of the posterior chamber lens implant. The technique of lens implantation is discussed.
متن کاملModification in intraocular acrylic lens surgery.
HAVING read Mr. Harold Ridley's article on " Further Experiences of Intraocular Acrylic Lens Surgery " (Ridley, 1954), one cannot but feel on reflection that this great advance in cataract surgery is bound, in time, to become an accepted procedure within the capabilities of any ophthalmic surgeon. Any modification of it, therefore, which would tend to make it simpler or safer, should perhaps he...
متن کاملIntraocular lens calculations after refractive surgery.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of refractive surgery on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, compare methods of IOL power calculation after refractive surgery, evaluate the effect of pre-refractive surgery refractive error on IOL deviation, review the literature on determining IOL power after refractive surgery, and introduce a formula for IOL calculation for use after refractive surgery f...
