متن کاملEffect of age on visual acuity after cataract extraction.
The best Snellen visual acuity in the three months after cataract extraction was found to decline with the age of the patient. The relationship was identical in 111 patients who had extracapsular extraction and a Pearce tripod posterior chamber intraocular lens and in 50 patients who had intracapsular extraction with spectacle correction. Vision after operation varied from a mean value of 6/5 a...
متن کاملCataract Extraction without Iridectomy.
IN cataract surgery iridectomy or iridotomy has been done as a general rule since 1864, when von Mooren first introduced it (Bellows, 1944). Different types of iridectomies have been advocated by various surgeons. Chandler in 1890 suggested a pin-hole peripheral iridectomy (Knapp, 1947), and Harrington (1949) also concluded that peripheral iridectomy was better than a complete iridectomy. Kirby...

THERE are numerous techniques for the performance of cataract extraction and the literature is so vast that it is difficult to attempt to make any comprehensive references. The chief points of difference appear to be in the method of anaesthesia, the use of a conjunctival flap, and the method of making the incision and suturing the wound. A few brief notes will be made on each of these points a...
