contrast sensitivity comparison between two thin lenses, thinoptx® versus acrismart®, after micro incision cataract surgery

Micro-incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) and MICS lenses

Visual Outcomes After Cataract Surgery: Multifocal Versus Monofocal Intraocular Lenses.

PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcomes, spectacle independence, and quality of life among nonastigmatic and astigmatic patients who received AcrySof IQ ReSTOR toric or nontoric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) compared with those who received commercially available nontoric monofocal IOLs after bilateral cataract removal. METHODS This randomized, patient-...

Corneal astigmatism after micro-incision cataract operation.

GOALS To evaluate the effect of micro-incision (2.2 mm) and small-incision (3.0 mm) coaxial phaco-emulsification on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA). METHODS Cataract patients (n = 60, 60 eyes) were randomized into two groups: 30 eyes in the 2.2-mm incision group, 30 eyes in the 3,0-mm group. Phaco-emulsification was followed by intraocular lens implantation via the Monarch II injector wi...

Macular alterations after small-incision cataract surgery.

PURPOSE To characterize macular edema that occurs after uneventful cataract surgery. SETTING Centre of Ophthalmology, University Hospital, Institute of Biomedical Research on Light and Image, Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal. METHODS Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients had uneventful phacoemulsification with implantation of a foldable intraocular lens. Postoperativel...

Hospital-based community cataract surgery: comparison of visual outcomes between conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction and small incision cataract surgery.

INTRODUCTION the small-incision cataract surgery is gaining popularity among the ophthalmic surgeons. OBJECTIVE to compare the visual outcome of conventional extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in a hospital based community cataract program. MATERIALS AND METHODS aprospective interventional study without randomization was carried out includin...

Chick feed technique versus standard chop technique in micro incision cataract surgery.

BACKGROUND The important factor for improving the cataract surgery is reduction in size of corneal incision. Small incision results in less induced astigmatism, and faster visual rehabilitation. METHODS An analysis of 100 eyes of 80 patients operated for phacoemulsification through micro incision by standard chop technique (50 eyes) in group-I, and chick feed technique (50 eyes) in group-II i...
