PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcomes of patients with a new diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS A trifocal diffractive Fine Vision IOL (Physiol, Liege, Belgium) was implanted after microincision cataract surgery (MICS) in 40 eyes of 20 patients with bilateral cataract. The monocular and binocular visual performance and the refractive status were assessed, as well as the de...

Purpose To study the subconjunctival silicone oil (SCSO) parameters associated with dellen formation following microincision vitrectomy (MIV). Patients and methods This was a case-control study of 20 eyes with SCSO following MIV. Ten of them suffered postoperative dellen formation. Dellen occurrence, their sizes, number of loci, and distance between SCSO and the limbus were recorded. The outc...

Background: The aim of this work was to study the clinical outcomes, operative time, and complications 27-gauge (27G) microincision vitrectomy surgery in posterior segment eye disease (PSED). Material methods: This prospective observational conducted at a tertiary care hospital Kashmir, India. 27G transconjunctival sutureless performed on 101 eyes patients with PSED. Results: Of patients, pars ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare functional and morphological outcomes of 1.8-mm versus 2.2-mm microincision coaxial cataract surgery (MCCS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty eyes of 30 patients that underwent MCCS were randomized to two groups: 1.8-mm MCCS (group 1: 15 eyes) and 2.2-mm MCCS (group 2: 15 eyes). RESULTS There were no significant between-group differences in uncorrected visual ...

PURPOSE To compare the effects of different 23- and 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy trocar cannula entry systems on incision architecture. METHODS We tested one ridged microvitreoretinal (MVR), one non-ridged MVR, one pointed beveled, and one round-tipped beveled blade (n=10 per blade design per incision type). Each blade's straight and oblique incision architecture was assessed in a silico...

Purpose. To compare the surgical outcomes of limbal versus pars plana vitrectomy using the 23-gauge microincision system for removal of congenital cataracts with primary intraocular lens implantation. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed all eyes that underwent cataract removal through limbal or pars plana incision. Main outcome measures included visual outcomes and complications. Results. We i...

The increased acceptance of topical anesthesia, phacoemulsification and foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs), have advanced the techniques of microincision clear corneal cataract surgery.1 Operating through these small (less than 3.0 mm), corneal incisions have placed new demands on surgeons to effectively and safely remove the cataract and implant the IOL without increasing the risk of corneal, ...
