Neuroleptanalgesia and extracapsular cataract extraction.
Peribulbar and retrobulbar anaesthesia are commonly used techniques in cataract extraction. They offer satisfactory analgesia and akinesia but serious complications although uncommon are consistently reported. Intravenous sedation combined with a facial nerve block offers an alternative method of anaesthesia. This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent extracapsular cataract extract...
متن کاملExtracapsular cataract extraction - some problems.
Comments are made on the method of removing the anterior capsule during the performance of extracapsular cataract operations. The difficulty of performing this manoeuvre adequately is emphasised. Observations carried out during the postoperative period by means of the slit-lamp revealed some hitherto undescribed changes in the capsule. The edge of the anterior capsule can be clearly seen and lo...
متن کاملSurgically induced diffuse scleritis: comparison of incidence in phacoemulsification and conventional extracapsular cataract extraction.
Surgically induced diffuse scleritis (SIDS) is a recognised but less well reported cause of pain and reduced vision following cataract surgery. We have previously reported on complications of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction in which SIDS was the second most common. Recently, we conducted an audit of patients who underwent phacoemulsification cataract extraction to compare the inc...
متن کاملStabilisation of refraction following extracapsular cataract extraction.
Regular serial refraction was used to determine the rate of stabilisation of refraction following routine extracapsular cataract surgery in 85 eyes. Patients were divided into four groups depending on wound closure technique: limbal section closed by interrupted 8-0 virgin silk, 9-0 polydioxanone or 10-0 nylon sutures, and corneal section closed by continuous 10-0 nylon suture. Stabilisation of...
متن کاملTreatment of ophidism-induced bilateral canine cataract by extracapsular lens extraction and intraocular lens implantation
The aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. A 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. The dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. A 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. In the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the ...
