Corneal flap incision for cataract operation.
One of the drawbacks of all classical incisions for cataract surgery has been the slow consolidation of the scar. According to Dunnington (1956) and to Ashton and Cook (1951), the first step in the healing of limbal wounds is taken by the swelling of the corneal lamellae, whereas the sclera plays a very passive role in the process. The retractability of the tissues then leads to a separation of...
متن کاملCorneal astigmatism after micro-incision cataract operation.
GOALS To evaluate the effect of micro-incision (2.2 mm) and small-incision (3.0 mm) coaxial phaco-emulsification on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA). METHODS Cataract patients (n = 60, 60 eyes) were randomized into two groups: 30 eyes in the 2.2-mm incision group, 30 eyes in the 3,0-mm group. Phaco-emulsification was followed by intraocular lens implantation via the Monarch II injector wi...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness changes following manual small incision cataract surgery
AIM To determine changes in post-cataract surgery central corneal thickness (CCT) at Lagos University Teaching Hospital by assessing the time it takes for the cornea to return to its preoperative thickness value. METHODS This study is a prospective, hospital-based open within-patient controlled study with the unoperated eye controlling for the operated one. RESULTS Two hundred patients with...
متن کاملCorneal aberrations before and after small-incision cataract surgery.
PURPOSE To study the effect of small-incision cataract surgery on the optical aberrations of the cornea. METHODS Corneal topography was measured before and after cataract surgery on 70 eyes of 70 patients. Monofocal foldable IOLs were implanted after phacoemulsification through a clear-cornea, 3.5-mm incision without suture. Corneal aberrations, up to the fifth order and 6-mm pupil, were calc...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser versus manual clear corneal incision in cataract surgery.
PURPOSE To compare functional and morphological outcomes of femtosecond laser clear corneal incision (CCI) versus manual CCI during cataract surgery. METHODS Sixty eyes of 60 patients who underwent CCI during cataract surgery were randomized into two groups: femtosecond laser CCI (30 eyes) and manual CCI (30 eyes). RESULTS There were no significant between-group differences in uncorrected d...
