GOALS To evaluate the effect of micro-incision (2.2 mm) and small-incision (3.0 mm) coaxial phaco-emulsification on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA). METHODS Cataract patients (n = 60, 60 eyes) were randomized into two groups: 30 eyes in the 2.2-mm incision group, 30 eyes in the 3,0-mm group. Phaco-emulsification was followed by intraocular lens implantation via the Monarch II injector wi...

AIM To compare postoperative keratometric corneal refractive changes after phacoemulsification surgery between pre-incision and single stepped clear corneal incision techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective clinical study included 40 eyes of 40 patients who underwent clear corneal cataract surgery. Twenty eyes were operated using pre-incision technique (Group A), and 20 eyes using si...

purpose: to compare clear corneal incision and scleral tunnel incision in terms of intraocular pressure (iop), post-operative inflammation, induced astigmatism, and corneal edema in phacoemulcification. methods: this non-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 78 eyes with senile cataract. a clear corneal incision was made in 40 eyes and a scleral tunnel incision was made in 38 eyes. all eye...

AIMS To determine whether topical anaesthesia in small incision self-sealing phacoemulsification cataract surgery provides comparable anaesthesia to sub-Tenon's infiltration. METHODS Thirty five patients undergoing small incision self-sealing phacoemulsification cataract surgery were allocated randomly to receive topical anaesthesia with 0.4% oxybuprocaine or sub-Tenon's infiltration with 2% ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the changes in Preoperative and Postoperative keratometry results and rapid visual rehabilitation in Cataract surgery by our phaco-sandwich technique through the self sealing sclero-corneal tunnel incision without phacoemulsification. METHODS 96 eyes of 88 patients with age-related cataracts underwent small incision suture less cataract surgery without phacoemulsificati...
