Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the influence of combined femtosecond laser and phacoemulsification on postoperative curative effect and safety on cataract patients. Method: One hundred forty-five cataract patients (148 eyes) needing operation were selected and grouped by difference in operation method: control group, 72 patients (74 eyes) were treated with traditional phac...

• Objective: To apply statistical process control (SPC) techniques to evaluate 3 components of the phacoemulsification cataract surgery procedure. • Design: Retrospective chart review. • Methods: We analyzed 180 cataract surgeries performed by 6 cataract surgeons (3 “high-volume” and 3 “low-volume” surgeons). Surgical parameters evaluated were phacoemulsification time (seconds), phacoemulsifica...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the long-term cumulative incidence of and risk factors for retinal detachment (RD) after phacoemulsification using linked administrative medical data. METHODS We used the Western Australian Data Linkage System to identify patients who underwent phacoemulsification in Western Australia between January 1989 and December 2001. Retinal detachment cases were those patients r...

AIM We conducted this study to evaluate and compare corneal endothelial cell loss between phacoemulsification with continuous anterior chamber infusion using anterior chamber maintainer (ACM) and phacoemulsification using ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. Fifty eyes of 47 patients of senile cataract undergoing pha...

PURPOSE To compare cumulative dissipated energy between two phacoemulsification machines. SETTING An ambulatory surgical center, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS A total of 2,077 consecutive cases of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification performed by five surgeons from November 2012 to November 2014 were included in the study; 1,021 consecutive cases ...

Background. Optic disk hemorrhage is known to be a risk factor for glaucoma progression. Cataract surgery by phacoemulsification results in large intraocular pressure fluctuations. We aim to investigate whether phacoemulsification is associated with optic disc hemorrhage in patients with glaucoma. Methods. This is a retrospective review of consecutive university clinic based glaucoma patients u...

PURPOSE To analyze the rate of intraoperative complications, reoperations, and endophthalmitis with phacoemulsification, manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS), and large-incision extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). SETTING Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS This study comprised consecutive cataract surgeries performed during a 12...
