Corneal vascularization after cataract extraction by zonulysis.

CATARACT extraction, after the zonule has been dissolved by the action of the enzyme alpha-chymotrypsin, is a new procedure of great potential value. The parenteral use of this enzyme to reduce inflammatory reaction and assist the absorption of haematomata has been described (Fullgrabe, 1957). The application to cataract surgery is the result of work by Barraquer on the local effects of the enz...

Keratometric changes after cataract extraction.

One hundred cases of uncomplicated cataract with clear corneae had cataract extraction and were examined at 20 days and six weeks after operation. Keratometry was done preoperatively and keratometry and retinoscopy at each of the follow-up visits. The study was undertaken to evaluate the type (whether pre- or postplaced) and the number of sutures (one, three, or five) that produce the least pos...

Corneal astigmatism following cataract extraction.

The changes in corneal curvature in the first six months after cataract extraction were studied by performing sequential keratometry on a group of 57 patients. 8/0 Virgin silk interrupted sutures were used for the closure of corneoscleral incisions, and 10/0 monofilament tied in double running (bootlace) or single running (continuous) fashion was used for corneal wound closure. A high degree of...
