Limbal relaxing incision during cataract surgery.
Limbal relaxing incisions are one of the more commonly performed procedures with phacoemulsification to correct preexisting astigmatism during cataract surgery. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect and stability of limbal relaxing incisions in reducing preexisting astigmatism at the time of phacoemulsification. The study included 10 eyes in 12 patients who underwent limbal relaxing i...
متن کامل[Limbal relaxing incision or the more curved meridian incision associated to phacoemulsification with multifocal intraocular lens implant: three case reports].
The use of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) is a great advance in the treatment of patients with cataract allowing near and distance uncorrected visual acuity recovery. However patients with some degrees of corneal astigmatism have some limitations. We present 3 cases that were indicated for phacoemulsitfication and multifocal intraocular lens implant (AcrySof Restor, Alcon Labs) after limb...
متن کاملThe Short Term Effects of a Single Limbal Relaxing Incision Combined with Clear Corneal Incision
PURPOSE To compare the effects of performing a single limbal relaxing incision (LRI) combined with a clear corneal incision on a corneal astigmatism with that of paired LRIs in cataract surgery. METHODS Medical records for 25 eyes in 20 patients who had undergone LRIs during cataract operations for with-the-rule astigmatism of 1.5 diopters (D) or more in topography were retrospectively review...

Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Civil Hospital Karachi Eye Unit II, from 1 st December 2009 1 st Dece...
متن کاملNeurotrophic Corneal Ulcer Development Following Cataract Surgery with a Limbal Relaxing Incision
A 60-year-old man with bilateral corneal opacity underwent cataract extraction surgery involving the use of a limbal relaxing incision in his left eye. He had lower lid ectropion and lagophthalmos in both eyes. Eleven days after the surgery, a slit-lamp examination revealed a neurotrophic corneal ulcer with a punch-out epithelial defect and rolled edges at the center of the pre-existing corneal...
