Cataract Extraction without Iridectomy.

چکیده
IN cataract surgery iridectomy or iridotomy has been done as a general rule since 1864, when von Mooren first introduced it (Bellows, 1944). Different types of iridectomies have been advocated by various surgeons. Chandler in 1890 suggested a pin-hole peripheral iridectomy (Knapp, 1947), and Harrington (1949) also concluded that peripheral iridectomy was better than a complete iridectomy. Kirby (1955) stressed that round pupil extraction provided support to the vitreous and retained control over the light, so preventing glare. Vail (1957) stressed complete iridectomy avoided herniation of the vitreous through the pupil, which irritates the iris and cornea. Thus in complete iridectomy iritis and corneal irritation are much reduced. Townes (1958) advocated complete iridectomy, and McLean (1958), Castroveijo (1958), and Brown (1958) peripheral iridectomy. No detailed reports of cataract extraction without iridectomy are available in the literature.

Conjunctival Bridge in Cataract Extraction.
THE very definite advantages of leaving a conjunctival bridge in ordinary cataract extraction 'are counterbalanced by certain disadvantages. It is not so easy to do an iridectomy, should that be necessary, and sometimes the delivery of the lens is so much impeded that the bridge has to be cut through. By a very slight modification in the direction of the bridge, both these difficulties are over...
