Background: Several supplementary approaches have been used to increase the patient’s comfort during phacoemulsification under topical anesthesia. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of lidocaine/paracetamol (LP) and midazolam/fentanyl (MF) administration on pain intensity and hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing cataract surgery using phacoemulsification.  Methods: ...

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) have attracted significant attention, as they have been reported to lower intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and have an excellent safety profile. The iStent is an example of a minimally invasive glaucoma device that has received particular attention due to its early and wide spread utilization. There is a growing body of evidence supporting its ...

Methods: Retrospective chart review of residentperformed phacoemulsification cases at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Decatur, Georgia, from July 1, 1999, through June 30, 2002. Outcomes measured included postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), intraoperative complications, and adjusted phacoemulsification times (total phacoem...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the torsional and flattening effect of steep meridian incisions and influence of posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) on total corneal astigmatism (TCA) after cataract surgery. METHODS One hundred thirty-two eyes underwent cataract surgery with steep meridian 2.2 mm microcoaxial and 2.85 mm conventional clear corneal incisions. Eyes were divided into with-the-rule (WTR) ...

PURPOSE To assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during standard coaxial or bimanual microincision phacoemulsification. SETTING Oregon Eye Center, Eugene, Oregon, USA. METHODS Bimanual microincision phacoemulsification (microphaco) was performed in 3 cadaver eyes, and standard coaxial phacoemulsification was performed in 1 cadaver eye. A pressure transducer placed in the vitreous cav...

PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence and severity pattern of dry eye after phacoemulsification. SETTING King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. DESIGN Prospective descriptive study. METHODS Samples were collected from ninety-two uncomplicated cataract patients who were 18 years old or older. Dry eye incidence and pattern were analyzed at days 0, 7, 30 and 90 after phacoemuls...

recently, small incision cataract extraction by phaco and implantation of a foldable intraocular lense with topical anesthesia has used in an attempt to decrease the complication of general anesthesia and peribulbar injection. to compare effects and complications of topical, local and general anesthesia, 92 patients admitted to imam hosein hospital for cataract surgery, were randomly assigned t...

Introduction: The objective of this study is to determine whether there a relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP), diabetes mellitus, and hypertension with visual acuity in senile cataract patients after phacoemulsification surgery. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional who underwent surgery from 2019-2020 at Christian University Indonesia General Hospital. Data were taken medical re...

Bimanual microincision phacoemulsification entails the removal of the crystalline lens through 2 1.2 mm incisions. Infusion is provided through a separate irrigating handpiece, and phacoemulsification and aspiration are performed through a sleeveless phacoemulsification needle. We describe a technique for refractive lens exchange using bimanual microincision phacoemulsification. Capsulorhexis f...
