Neurotrophic 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...
متن کاملLimbal 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 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...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness changes following manual small incision cataract surgery
AIM To determine changes in post-cataract surgery central corneal thickness (CCT) at Lagos University Teaching Hospital by assessing the time it takes for the cornea to return to its preoperative thickness value. METHODS This study is a prospective, hospital-based open within-patient controlled study with the unoperated eye controlling for the operated one. RESULTS Two hundred patients with...
متن کاملManagement of Corneal Astigmatism by Limbal Relaxing Incisions during Cataract Surgery
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) for corneal astigmatism correction during phacoemulsification Methods: 24 eyes of 24 patients with the mean age of 65.71 years (range: 55 to 83 years) with senile cataracts and mean corneal astigmatism of 1.9±0.83 diopters (D) (range: 1.5 to 3.5 D) were included in this study. All LRIs were performed during phacoem...
