BACKGROUND: The reasons for the development of postoperative reactive inflammation under optimal conditions operation are errors in surgical technique and presence viscoelastic residues. likelihood developing ophthalmic hypertension exists with use any type. Its incomplete evacuation can be explained by difficult visualization due to its transparency. Analysis dependence period course on qualit...

To observe curative effects of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation alone or associated with vitreous aspiration in treating angle closure glaucoma (ACG) patients with concomitant cataract. A retrospective comparative analysis of 72 ACG patients (78 eyes) with concomitant cataract was conducted. Patients in group A underwent phacoemulsification combined with intraocul...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether phacoemulsification after trabeculectomy affects postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). SETTING Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS The medical records of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or exfoliation glaucoma who had trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C were reviewed. The primary endpoints were condition A (persistent po...

PURPOSE To provide an overview of intraoperative and postoperative complications during phacoemulsification cataract surgery and to evaluate the visual results in patients having pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with 10 years of follow-up. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of intraoperative and postoperative complications and postoperative visual results in 134 consecutive patients who underwent ph...

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 ...

BACKGROUND To establish whether a previously validated scoring system (Habib) for the prediction of risk or likelihood of posterior capsule rupture during phacoemulsification surgery could be used to: 1. Predict the difficulty of a phacoemulsification case, and 2. Select appropriate phacoemulsification cases for trainees. METHODS The study sample was consecutive phacoemulsification cases unde...

OBJECTIVE To report the results of a specially designed closed ring with a square edge (endocapsular equator ring) in a young patient to prevent posterior capsular opacification. METHODS One eye of a 22-year-old atopic patient underwent endocapsular equator ring implantation with a 1-piece polymethylmethacrylate intraocular lens immediately after phacoemulsification at Hara Eye Hospital on Ja...

purpose : to investigate tear film status after phacoemulsification surgery with temporal and supratemporal clear corneal incision in a cohort of patients with senile cataract methods : we enrolled sixty eight eyes of 68 patients with senile cataract requiring phacoemulsification in a prospective, cohort study. all patients undergone basic tear secretion test (btst), tear meniscus height (tmh),...

BACKGROUND Acute primary angle closure (PAC) can be refractory to conventional treatment and intraocular pressure (IOP) is beyond control. Surgical intervention should be considered at the moment. The aim of the study was to compare small-incision phacotrabeculectomy (phacotrab, small-incision trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification) with phacoemulsification (phaco) in patients with re...
