Phacoemulsification and Aspiration of Cataracts

Comparing the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification in white mature and other types of senile cataracts.

AIM To compare the intraoperative difficulty and postoperative outcome in patients who have white mature cataract in one eye and other types of senile cataract in the other eye undergoing clear corneal phacoemulsification and foldable intraocular lens implantation. METHODS 82 patients who had white mature cataract in one eye, posterior subcapsular, cortical, nuclear, or mixed type cataract in...

The Comparison between Torsional and Conventional Mode Phacoemulsification in Moderate and Hard Cataracts

PURPOSE To compare the intraoperative performances and postoperative outcomes of cataract surgery performed with longitudinal phacoemulsification and torsional phacoemulsification in moderate and hard cataracts. METHODS Of 85 patients who had senile cataracts, 102 eyes were operated on using the Infiniti Vision System. Preoperative examinations (slit lamp examination, mean central corneal thi...

Results of coaxial phacoemulsification through a 1.8-mm microincision in hard cataracts.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To assess the results of coaxial phacoemulsification through 1.8-mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery (C-MICS) phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation in eyes with hard cataracts in comparison to eyes with soft cataracts. PATIENTS AND METHODS Group 1 consisted of 40 eyes of 40 patients with hard cataracts (grade ≥ 4, Lens Opacities Classif...
