PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of a microincision intraocular lens (IOL) and its use in biaxial microincision cataract surgery (MICS). SETTING Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. METHODS A microincision IOL (Akreos MI60) was implanted after cataract extraction by the biaxial MICS technique. Over a postoperative follo...

Background: The aim of this work was to study the clinical outcomes, operative time, and complications 27-gauge (27G) microincision vitrectomy surgery in posterior segment eye disease (PSED). Material methods: This prospective observational conducted at a tertiary care hospital Kashmir, India. 27G transconjunctival sutureless performed on 101 eyes patients with PSED.

The paper is a prospective study of 23 lids of 20 patients with upper lid aponeurotic ptosis operated using microincision technique in period 2005-2008. There were 7 males and 13 females. Age of the patients was 28-83 years (y), average 61 +/- 17 y, for female 63 +/- 13.4 y and for male 61 +/- 19 y. Inclusion criteria were: aponeurotic upper lid ptosis more than 2 mm, no other lid abnormalities...

PURPOSE This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) and coaxial microincision cataract surgery (C-MICS). METHODS Three databases were searched for papers that compared B-MICS and C-MICS from inception to June 2016. The following intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were included in the final...

Although the history of ophthalmic surgery can be dated back thousands of years with operations to treat cataracts, surgery involving the vitreous cavity has only been reported for less than 50 years. The initial description of major vitreous surgery was introduced by David Kasner in 1969 (Kasner, 1969). He described excision removal of the vitreous using a sponge and scissors, under an open sk...

BACKGROUND/AIM Cataract surgery has become one of the safest procedures in medicine thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques. Although minimal, we still witness different complications. The aim of this study was to compare visual outcome and complication rate in different techniques of cataract surgery, ie in cataract surgeries with various corneal incision width. METHODS The ...

Introduction here have been significant advances in cataract surgery in last 3 decades, and improvements are ongoing. Studies have evaluated several methods to reduce the amount of ultrasound (US) energy intraoperatively; these include various power modulations, nuclear chopping techniques, microincision cataract surgery, and infusion and irrigation systems. Ultrasound power is considered a ris...
