Imaging and investigating the effects of incision angle of clear corneal cataract surgery with optical coherence tomography

Imaging and investigating the effects of incision angle of clear corneal cataract surgery with optical coherence tomography.

Effects of incision angle in construction of clear corneal cataract incision are studied with optical coherence tomography (OCT). A stable incision angle range is found to be existent for single-planed, clear corneal cataract incisions. When well pressurized, incision angles within this stable range result in well-apposed incision edges that resist gapping while incision angles falling outside ...

Optical coherence tomography studies of clear corneal incision wound architecture.

Optical coherence tomography of the effects of stromal hydration on clear corneal incision architecture.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of stromal hydration on clear corneal incision (CCI) architecture immediately after surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, United Kingdom. METHODS Clear corneal incisions in adult eyes were examined using a Visante AS-OCT imaging system within 1 hour of surg...

The evaluation of clear corneal incision architecture using optical coherence tomography

incision used in modern-day phacoemulusification cataract surgery. CCI allows sutureless surgery, induces little astigmatism and provides fast visual rehabilitation1,2. Over the past decade the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery has increased. There has been much debate on whether the increasing use of clear cornea incision has contributed to this3-5. A recent study speculated ...

Femtosecond 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...
