Although worldwide data is incomplete, cataract is probably the leading cause of blindness in the world [l]. A recent review of global data on blindness suggests that of the estimated 42 million blind in the world, approx. 17 million are blind from cataract [2]. It is particularly tragic that cataract should cause such a large share of blindness because the surgical techniques for removing lent...

introduction: cataract is an opacified lens and senile cataract is a common disorder. it is desirable to reduce intraocular pressure (iop) in order to minimize intra and post operative difficulties and complications. many researches have studied the effects of muscle relaxants on iop. comparison effect of atracurium and pancuronium on iop has been evaluated in one study with a small sample size...

This outcome assessment study is based on data collected prospectively in a group of 123 consecutive cataract patients. Cataract surgery to vast majority of patients means prevention of blindness, better vision, better visual functioning and better quality of life. Due to cataract surgery the occupational status is maintained in many patients, and a majority of the retired patients are able to ...

INTRODUCTION Small incisions in cataract surgery have shown to reduce tissue damage, postoperative inflammation and pain. OBJECTIVE To describe in detail the surgical management challenges and clinical results of bimanual micro-incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery in children with congenital cataract. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 22 eyes of 14 children aged from 11 months to 17 years w...

background : phacoemulsification is one of the best surgical treatments for the cataract. secondary to the technicaladvances in estimating the intraocular lens (iol) power, the refractive errors, one of the most important surgical complications after surgery, is now reduced. currently, two methods of biometry are used to calculate the iol power, ultrasound biometry and optical biometry. both me...

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally and surgery is the only known measure to deal with it effectively. Providing high quality cataract surgical services is critical if patients with cataract are to have their sight restored. A key focus of surgery is the outcome of the procedure. In cataract surgery this is measured predominantly, using visual acuity. Population- and hospital-ba...
