Small-incision phacotrabeculectomy versus phacoemulsification in refractory acute primary angle closure with cataract
BACKGROUND Acute primary angle closure (PAC) can be refractory to conventional treatment and intraocular pressure (IOP) is beyond control. Surgical intervention should be considered at the moment. The aim of the study was to compare small-incision phacotrabeculectomy (phacotrab, small-incision trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification) with phacoemulsification (phaco) in patients with re...
متن کامل[Phacoemulsification using clear cornea incision in steepest meridian].
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification through clear cornea incision in the steepest meridian (ISM), on the magnitude of preoperative keratometric astigmatism. To map the magnitude of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) by clear cornea incision in the positions: nasal (N), temporal (T), superior temporal (ST) and inferior temporal (IT). METHODS A prospective keratometric study...

ALTHOUGH prophylactic peripheral iridectomy is probably one of the most satisfactory operations in the whole of surgery if carefully performed on carefully selected cases, we have the clinical impression that posterior synechiae in the part of the pupil related to the iridectomy can be a common complication. Posterior synechiae following peripheral iridectomy were mentioned by Lowe (1962). The ...

متن کاملPhacoemulsification versus small incision cataract surgery (SICS): which one is a better surgical option for immature cataract in developing countries?
BACKGROUND several studies have shown comparable visual outcomes of SICS and phacoemulsification (Gogate et al 2007, Ruit et al 2007). OBJECTIVE to compare the safety and efficacy of different types of surgical procedures (phacoemulsification versus SICS) for cataract surgery in immature cataract. MATERIAL AND METHODS a prospective randomized controlled trial was carried out involving 93 an...
