Dynamic morphology of clear corneal cataract incisions.
OBJECTIVE Clear corneal cataract incisions without sutures allow for rapid visual rehabilitation after phacoemulsification but might be associated with an increased risk of postoperative infection. The goal of this study was to examine in vitro dynamic changes in unhealed clear corneal cataract incisions that might adversely affect the risk of intraocular infection. DESIGN Laboratory investig...
متن کاملASCRS White Paper: What is the association between clear corneal cataract incisions and postoperative endophthalmitis?
The relationship between unsutured clear corneal tunnel incisions and an increased incidence of infection after cataract surgery remains uncertain; however, there is a growing concern and body of evidence regarding a potential causal association. Although 2 large recent studies from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute report no greater incidence of endophthalmitis with corneal incisions than with s...
متن کاملTransconjunctival single-plane sclerocorneal incisions versus clear corneal incisions in cataract surgery.
PURPOSE To compare a transconjunctival single-plane sclerocorneal incision with 2 tiny conjunctival cuts at both ends and a clear corneal incision (CCI) in cataract surgery. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. METHODS Patients having routine cataract surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups based on incision type; th...
متن کاملSurgically induced astigmatism after 3.0 mm temporal and nasal clear corneal incisions in bilateral cataract surgery
AIMS To compare the corneal refractive changes induced after 3.0 mm temporal and nasal corneal incisions in bilateral cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study comprised a consecutive case series of 60 eyes from 30 patients with bilateral phacoemulsification that were implanted with a 6.0 mm foldable intraocular lens through a 3.0 mm horizontal clear corneal incision (tem...
متن کاملThe Stromal Hydration of Clear Corneal Incisions
D r. Vasavada regularly performs stromal hydration, at both the clear corneal temporal incision and paracentesis, as part of his strategy for sealing the wound after cataract surgery. Further, he has found stromal hydration to be a useful adjunct in clear corneal cataract surgery, because it allows the adequate approximation of the anterior and posterior aspects of the corneal tunnel. Today, su...
