Evaluation of high volume extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in Sierra Leone, west Africa.
AIMS Intraocular lens (IOP) implantation in sub-Saharan Africa is not the routine procedure of choice in the treatment of cataract. Previous series consist of small numbers of selected patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate routine posterior chamber lens implantation in large numbers of consecutive patients. METHODS 1059 cataract extractions with planned IOL (744 patients) were p...
متن کاملExtracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis.
Twenty-two patients with Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis had a posterior chamber intraocular lens implanted after extracapsular cataract extraction. After a mean follow-up period of 2.5 years (range, 6 to 70 months) half the patients had a visual acuity of 1.0 or more. The results compare favourably with those in the general population.
متن کاملGlaucoma triple procedure of extracapsular cataract extraction, posterior chamber lens implantation, and trabeculectomy.
Thirty-four consecutive glaucoma triple procedures with a minimum follow up of six months have been shown to be effective and safe. Satisfactory control of the glaucoma was achieved in each case, and 91% of eyes were returned to an acuity of 6/12 or better. 1% sodium hyaluronate was found to be beneficial by preventing scleral or corneal collapse during surgery and ensuring an even filtration p...
متن کاملRetinal detachment following extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
Fourteen cases of primary retinal detachment after extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were treated by scleral buckling surgery. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 100% of the cases. All eyes had a postoperative visual acuity of 6/30 or better; in six eyes the visual acuity was 6/12 or better. We attributed our high anatomical success rate to ...
متن کاملVisual outcome of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation versus manual small-incision cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND an effective method for cataract surgery should be identified to combat cataract blindness. AIM to study the surgical outcome of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction versus manual small-incision cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS a randomized clinical trial was carried out including one hundred eyes (88 patients) which were divided into two groups using systematic ...
