OBJECTIVES To evaluate surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in biaxial microincision cataract surgery with enlargement of one corneal incision during intraocular lens implantation (IOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 683 eyes with cataract that underwent biaxial microincision cataract surgery and IOL were retrospectively analyzed. The operated eyes were divided into 4 groups defined by fina...

PURPOSE The 2.2-mm microincision cataract surgery and small-gauge vitrectomy system is known to result in less surgically-induced astigmatism (SIA) in comparison to conventional surgical methods. We compared the amounts of SIA after combined phacoemulsification and 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (23G-TSV) using the 2.2-mm microincision and 2.75-mm standard incision methods. ...

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 ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of a microincision intraocular lens (IOL) and its use in biaxial microincision cataract surgery (MICS). SETTING Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. METHODS A microincision IOL (Akreos MI60) was implanted after cataract extraction by the biaxial MICS technique. Over a postoperative follo...

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...

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of coaxial microincision phacoemulsification with that of conventional coaxial phacoemulsification SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Farabi and Noor Eye Hospitals, Tehran, Iran Methods: In a prospective study, 74 eyes of 74 patients with cataract were randomly selected to have cataract extraction using 1 of 2 techniques: coaxial microincision phacoemulsifica...

Objectives. To evaluate the effects of microincision cataract surgery on dry eye-associated symptoms and signs. Methods. This prospective study included 40 eyes of 32 patients. Microincision cataract surgery was performed to eyes through 2.2 mm superior clear corneal incision. Dry eye-associated symptom scoring, corneal sensitivity test, Schirmer 1 test, tear break-up time (tBUT) were measured ...

PURPOSE To assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during standard coaxial or bimanual microincision phacoemulsification. SETTING Oregon Eye Center, Eugene, Oregon, USA. METHODS Bimanual microincision phacoemulsification (microphaco) was performed in 3 cadaver eyes, and standard coaxial phacoemulsification was performed in 1 cadaver eye. A pressure transducer placed in the vitreous cav...
