An improved technique for Morgagnian cataract phacoemulsification

Purpose : to develop new approaches Morgagnian cataract surgery by optimizing the phacoemulsification technique and reducing risk of surgical complications. Material methods . 22 patients (22 eyes) with hypermature were divided into 2 groups. The main group I included 11 who underwent according PEC technology using iridocapsular retractors, an intracapsular ring scaffold last nucleus fragment relocated anterior chamber. comparison II IOL implantation retractors no involved. In 7 I, lens was considered “large” in 4 patients, “small”. 8 II, 3 Results After 6 months, BCVA 0.60, whilst it 0.70. IOP averaged 12.9 mm Hg, while 17.90 Hg. endothelial cell density (CD) decreased 241 cells amounted 2012.0 cells/mm2 , loss 10.70%, CD greater. It dropped 377 (15.60%) 2039 Conclusions severity involutional changes ligamentous apparatus found depend on size. A working classification Morganian size has been proposed. use relocation chamber made possible reduce share complications 18.18%. During small nuclei, took place both which necessitates further improvement existing this type pathology.
