PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) performed by surgeons in training, evaluating clinical results, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) incidence, and clear corneal incision (CCI) architecture in a long-term follow-up and comparing results with those obtained by experienced surgeons. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty eyes of 62 patients operated o...

PURPOSE To evaluate the anatomic and functional effect of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS The medical records of 101 eyes of 101 patients who had undergone MIVS with ILM peeling for macular edema secondary to BRVO were studied. Patients were classified into ischem...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative intraocular pressures (IOPs) in 25- or 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) and to evaluate the stability of postoperative sclerotomy closure. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of 147 eyes treated for epiretinal membrane by using 25- or 27-gauge MIVS as the initial vitrectomy (25-gauge phacovitrectom...

BACKGROUND Glaucoma combined with an extremely shallow anterior chamber and cataracts remains as a complex condition to deal with. And the emergence of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) system may provide an ideal option for the treatment of that. We report a clinical study of surgical outcomes of 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with lensectomy in the treat...

Several intraocular lens (IOL) materials and types are currently available. Polymethyl methacrylate IOLs used to be the gold standard, but the inability of folding limits their use to selected countries and patients. Silicone IOLs were used more in the past because they are less suitable for microincisions. Foldable hydrophobic acrylic is the most popular material, which is also available in ye...

PURPOSE To determine the accuracy of visual estimation of immediate postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) following microincision cataract surgery (MICS) and the effect of immediate postoperative IOP adjustment on prevention of cystoid macular edema (CME). SETTING Ambulatory surgical center. METHODS Prospective, randomized analysis of 170 eyes in 135 patients with MICS, performed in a Me...

Dear Editor, I read with interest the article titled " Subretinal Perfluorocarbon Liquid for Dissection of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy " by Dalma-Weiszhausz et al. 1 Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCLs) effectively stabilize the retina and facilitate efficient repair of complex retinal detachments due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). PFCLs however, have some drawbacks 2 which may be avo...
