PURPOSE To analyse and quantitatively compare the outcomes of microincisional cataract surgery (CCMIC) with those of conventional phacoemulsification, evaluating the induced astigmatism, endothelial cell count, corneal thickness and foveal thickness in the pre- and postoperative period. METHODS Prospective and randomised study, including 74 eyes of 37 patients with a mean age of 72.97±7.55 ye...

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...

Background: Different surgical treatment options are used to treat cataracts, such as Manual Small Incision Cataract surgery (MSICS) and Phacoemulsification. The present study compares the visual outcomes of phacoemulsification MSICS in senile cataract patients. Methodology: A quasi-experimental was conducted with 270 patients aged between 50 70. Patients diagnosed were included divided equally...

PURPOSE To determine the effect of phacoemulsification on macular volume and thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography examinations. METHODS Twenty-seven eyes of 27 subjects who underwent phacoemulsification were studied. All nine areas of the macula were examined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography preoperatively and 2 months postoperatively. Effective phacoemu...

PURPOSE To evaluate the governmental costs of patients undergoing phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract extraction at a public hospital in a developing country. METHODS A prospective study was conduced with 205 patients. The subjects were randomized for cataract surgery using either phacoemulsification or extracapsular cataract extraction techniques. RESULTS Of the 205 patients, 10...

BACKGROUND We describe a case of intraoperative fracture of phacoemulsification sleeve during phacoemulsification surgery. CASE PRESENTATION Phacoemulsification surgery was performed in the left eye of a 58-year-old lady with grade II nuclear sclerosis & grade I cortical cataract. Towards the end of quadrant removal, there was anterior chamber instability with impaired followability of nuclea...
