purpose : contrast sensitivity (cs) evaluation by sv–1000e chart in all spatial frequencies after micro incision cataract surgery (mics) and its comparison between two thin lenses after optical correction in natural and glare conditions methods : in this cross sectional study, 100 eyes having mics with dodick arc phacolaser system were evaluated. 50 thinoptx lenses and 50 acrismart lenses were ...

INTRODUCTION Small incisions in cataract surgery have shown to reduce tissue damage, postoperative inflammation and pain. OBJECTIVE To describe in detail the surgical management challenges and clinical results of bimanual micro-incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery in children with congenital cataract. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 22 eyes of 14 children aged from 11 months to 17 years w...

PURPOSE To compare the astigmatism, high order aberrations, and optical quality of the cornea after microincision (approximately 1.7 mm) versus small incision approximately 3.2 mm) cataract surgery at Eye Center, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. METHODS This prospective, randomized clinical study included microincision cataract surgery and small incision cataract surgery performed on 60 ...

BACKGROUND The important factor for improving the cataract surgery is reduction in size of corneal incision. Small incision results in less induced astigmatism, and faster visual rehabilitation. METHODS An analysis of 100 eyes of 80 patients operated for phacoemulsification through micro incision by standard chop technique (50 eyes) in group-I, and chick feed technique (50 eyes) in group-II i...

Currently, posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) correct totally or partially spherical aberrations. In this article we present the visual results of a prospective multicentre study evaluating the Micro AY IOL correcting 0.11μm of spherical aberration, which is a good compromise between optimal vision and a consistent depth of focus. We evaluated 124 eyes that were operated on using bi-ma...

This article compares methods of axial length measurement for determining intraocular lens power and describes bimanual micro incision phacoemulsification for refractive lens exchange and routine cataract surgery, which offers an enormous advantage of maintaining a more stable intraocular environment during lens removal. This advantage may be especially important in high myopes who are at a gre...

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery techniques have improved a lot over the years from couching to the latest micro-incision cataract surgery. OBJECTIVES To compare the temporal sclero-corneal and clear corneal tunnel incisions in patients undergoing manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) with respect to the surgically-induced astigmatism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study included 60 ...

purpose : to investigate tear film status after phacoemulsification surgery with temporal and supratemporal clear corneal incision in a cohort of patients with senile cataract methods : we enrolled sixty eight eyes of 68 patients with senile cataract requiring phacoemulsification in a prospective, cohort study. all patients undergone basic tear secretion test (btst), tear meniscus height (tmh),...
