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...

BACKGROUND In our previous study, we showed that both allogeneic and autogeneic small-incision femtosecond laser-assisted corneal intrastromal transplantation are safe and effective surgeries. However, the results of small-incision femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal xenotransplantation have not yet been explored. Additionally, we suggest that glycerol-dehydrated corneal lamellae might prov...

PURPOSE To compare the astigmatism, high order aberrations, and optical quality of the cornea after microincision (approximately 1.7 mm) versus small incision approximately 3.2 mm) cataract surgery at Eye Center, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. METHODS This prospective, randomized clinical study included microincision cataract surgery and small incision cataract surgery performed on 60 ...

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...

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...

purpose : to compare the outcomes of microcoaxial phacoemulsification and conventional phacoemulsification techniques methods : in this prospective comparative clinical study in the negah eye center, 69 eyes of 69 patients with senile cataract of grade 3 to 4 on the lens opacities classification system iii (locsiii) were placed in two groups. thirty nine eyes were assigned to undergo surgery by...

We describe a new technique for removing a large intraocular foreign body by 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery (25G-MIVS). Noncomparative interventional case series were performed at a single centre. Two patients with a long smooth intraocular vitreal foreign body underwent phacoemulsification and aspiration, intraocular lens implantation, 25G-MIVS, and extraction of the foreign body. T...

PURPOSE To evaluate incidence and risk factors for corneal hydration intra-operatively during phacoemulsification (CHIP). METHODS AND MATERIALS This was a randomised, clinical trial, where 240 eyes of 240 patients with senile cataracts undergoing phacoemulsification were prospectively randomised to receive one of three possible types of incision architecture - single, two or three planes. Vis...
