Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of trypan blue for enhancing visualisation during phacoemulsification and foldable lens implantation in cases of cataract with corneal opacities. Methods: 11 eyes of 11 patients with nebulomacular corneal opacities involving the visual axis with partially and visually debilitating cataract underwent trypan blue assisted phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular...

OBJECTIVE To review the effect of phacoemulsification surgery in eyes with chronic hypotony following trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of all eyes that underwent phacoemulsification surgery for symptomatic cataracts and had a preoperative diagnosis of chronic hypotony (intraocular pressure [IOP] </=6 mm Hg) for at least 6 months following trabeculectomy with mito...

PURPOSE To compare the efficacy and visual results of phacoemulsification vs manual sutureless small-incision extracapsular cataract surgery (SICS) for the treatment of cataracts in Nepal. DESIGN Prospective, randomized comparison of 108 consecutive patients with visually significant cataracts. METHODS settings: Outreach microsurgical eye clinic. patients: One hundred eight consecutive pati...

AIMS To study the incidence, management, and outcomes of suprachoroidal haemorrhage (SCH) complicating cataract surgery in the United Kingdom. METHODS Cases were prospectively collected by active surveillance through the British Ophthalmological Surveillance Unit. Details were obtained using an incident questionnaire with follow up at 6 months. RESULTS 118 cases were reported in 1 year. The...

PURPOSE To compare indication criteria, intra- and postoperative complications, visual outcomes and time interval between the first and second eye surgery (phacoemulsification). METHODS Prospective study was done in 96 eyes of patients who underwent bilateral consecutive phacoemulsification surgery, performed by a third-year ophthalmology resident. An established protocol was filled out befor...
