METHODS: In this prospective randomized study, patients had standard coaxial (2.8 mm incisions), microcoaxial (2.2 mm incisions), or biaxial microincision (1.2 to 1.4 mm trapezoidal incisions) phacoemulsification. Intraoperative phaco parameters and total surgical time were measured and complications recorded. Postoperative visual acuity improvement, pachymetric differences, and surgically indu...

Reply : We would like to apologize to Dr. Ali6 o if he was offended that his work was not cited in our review article. There was certainly no pur­ poseful intent on the part of the authors to exclude his work from our review nor to neglect his contribu­ tions to the field. Rather, our work was intended as a brief review of the existing technologies and, therefore, inevitably some concision was ...

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...

nologyusedasa result of the introductionofphacoemulsification and the development of foldable intraocular lenses, which reduce the size of the sutureless corneal incision to 3.2 mm or less. In our methods section, the exact surgical technique and corneal incision size implemented were defined. To prevent misinterpretation, ‘‘3.2 mm small-incision coaxial phacoemulsification’’ would have been mo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To assess the results of coaxial phacoemulsification through 1.8-mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery (C-MICS) phacoemulsification with foldable intraocular lens implantation in eyes with hard cataracts in comparison to eyes with soft cataracts. PATIENTS AND METHODS Group 1 consisted of 40 eyes of 40 patients with hard cataracts (grade ≥ 4, Lens Opacities Classif...

PURPOSE To analyse and quantitatively compare the outcomes of microincisional cataract surgery (CCMIC) with those of conventional phacoemulsification, evaluating the induced astigmatism, endothelial cell count, corneal thickness and foveal thickness in the pre- and postoperative period. METHODS Prospective and randomised study, including 74 eyes of 37 patients with a mean age of 72.97±7.55 ye...

The clinical study was conducted on 22 eyes of 18 dogs (16 male and 2 female)to evaluate efficacy of Phacoemulsification for cataract removal and feasibility of rigid and foldable intraocular lens(+41 D) implantation in dogs. Animlas were operated under general anaesthesia using diazepam @ 0.5mg/kg b.wt and ketamine @ 5mg/kg b.wt combination and maintained on isoflurane inhalation anaesthesia. ...
