In the developing word most popular method of cataract operation is extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with posterior chamber into ocular lens in plantation eye (PCIOL) by Various Methods. This hold true for our county and Rajasthan state too...

The typical injury pattern of a posterior hip dislocation includes posterior wall fracture, capsular injury, and muscular strain. This report presents an example of a posterior wall acetabulum fracture-dislocation associated with complete hip abductor tendon and capsular avulsion from the femur. The patient was found to have an unstable hip despite a small posterior wall fragment due to the ext...

AIM To determine whether anterior capsule polishing during cataract surgery done by phacoemulsification has any effect on the rate of posterior capsule opacification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a 3 year retrospective analytical study at our hospital. The medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with foldable square edge hydrophilic PCIOL bet...

BACKGROUND: In developing countries congenital cataract has become an important cause of treatable blindness in childhood. However, difficulty in correcting aphakia is one of the reasons for poor visual outcome. OBJECTIVE: To determine the visual outcome after extra capsular cataract extraction and intra ocular lens implant and factors militating against good visual outcome in children. METHODS...

PURPOSE To determine characteristics and final visual and surgical outcomes of patients who experienced early onset postoperative inflammation after cataract surgery and their early and late complications. METHODS This is a prospective case series of 126 patients out of 1500 cases who underwent cataract surgery and experienced early onset postoperative inflammation during the first 2 weeks af...

BACKGROUND To report the indications and clinical outcomes of all capsular tension ring (CTR) implantations in a large series of consecutive cataract surgeries during a five year interval in a university eye hospital.
