PURPOSE To compare functional and morphological outcomes of femtosecond laser clear corneal incision (CCI) versus manual CCI during cataract surgery. METHODS Sixty eyes of 60 patients who underwent CCI during cataract surgery were randomized into two groups: femtosecond laser CCI (30 eyes) and manual CCI (30 eyes). RESULTS There were no significant between-group differences in uncorrected d...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate visual outcomes and complications after phacoemulsification in eyes with cataract and previous radial keratotomy (RK) cuts using different sizes of clear corneal incisions. METHODS The study was a retrospective study. Thirty eyes with cataract and previous RK underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Among them 7 eyes had 8 RK cuts, 13 eyes h...

purpose : to evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions (lris) for corneal astigmatism correction during phacoemulsification methods : 24 eyes of 24 patients with the mean age of 65.71 years (range: 55 to 83 years) with senile cataracts and mean corneal astigmatism of 1.9±0.83 diopters (d) (range: 1.5 to 3.5 d) were included in this study. all lris were performed during phaco...

Factors affecting stromal hydration of clear corneal incision architecture We have some comments about the article by Calladine et al. thatwewould like to sharewith the authors. First, one factor thatmight cause the difference in architecture betweenhydrated clear corneal incisions (CCIs) and nonhydrated CCIs is the corneal stromal edema at the incision site induced by hydration. The authors mi...

AIM To compare the optical outcomes of biaxial microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS) versus coaxial small-incision cataract surgery (C-SICS). METHODS Thirty patients (sixty eyes) with bilateral age-related cataract underwent B-MICS through a 1.7 mm clear corneal incision (CCI) in one eye and C-SICS through a 2.8-mm CCI in the other eye. Every eye was implanted with a micro-incision aspheric...

purpose: to compare the efficacy of adding an opposite clear corneal incision (occi) on the steep axis during phacoemulsification in reducing the pre-existing corneal astigmatism. methods: this randomized clinical trial was performed on 120 eyes with corneal astigmatism of >1d undergoing phacoemulsification. incisions were made based on the type of astigmatism as follows: superior or superior+o...

Purpose. To describe our surgical technique in the management of pseudophakic malignant glaucoma refractory to conventional treatment. Methods. Two pseudophakic eyes with malignant glaucoma underwent peripheral iridectomy, lens capsulectomy, hyaloidectomy, and anterior vitrectomy through a clear corneal incision by using a vitreous cutter. Results. Prompt resolution of malignant glaucoma was ac...

PURPOSE To report the results of managing dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by externalizing the haptics through a clear corneal incision. SETTING The Retina Center at Pali Momi, Aiea, Hawaii, USA. METHODS This retrospective consecutive series comprised cases in which a dislocated PC IOL was managed with pars plana vitrectomy. With this method, the dislocated PC IOL ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of transscleral fixation of dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) by externalizing the haptics through a clear corneal incision. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Rassoul Akram Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. METHODS This retrospective interventional case series comprised 21 eyes (21 patients) in which a dis...

PURPOSE To compare the astigmatic outcomes of phacoemulsification cataract surgery using temporal versus nasal clear corneal incisions. METHODS In a clinical trial, consecutive patients with senile cataracts underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of a hydrophobic acrylic foldable intraocular lens through a horizontal clear corneal incision (temporal in right and nasal in left eyes). O...
