AIM To assess the complications and visual outcomes associated with cataract surgery in camp patients operated at a tertiary centre. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, 206 outreach camp patients had undergone cataract surgeries with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation under peribulbar anesthesia over a period of 6 months. Post-operative complications on Day 1 were gra...

A common adverse effect of cataract surgery is dry eye disease (DED), which lowers postoperative patient satisfaction and results in substandard visual acuity. Tear film disrupted during leads to disease. Very few studies are available for the assessment following manual small incision (MSICS) among South Indian population. Hence, this study was conducted determine prevalence evaluate tear surg...

PURPOSE Investigate the prevalence and vision-related outcomes of cataract surgery in an area of high cataract surgical rate. METHODS Cluster sampling was used in randomly selecting individuals > or = 50 years of age in 2007. Participants were queried regarding year and place of previous cataract surgery. Cataract surgical procedures and evidence of surgical complications were recorded. The p...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with decreases in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) resulting from cataract surgery in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). METHODS The clinical records of 78 eyes of 78 patients with PEX who had undergone cataract surgery were reviewed. ECD was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively with spec...

Introduction Cataract surgery has undergone various advances since it was evolved from ancient couching to the modern phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) remains one of the most common complications. The introduction of sutureless clear corneal incision has gained increasing popularity worldwide because it offers several advantages over the traditional sut...

BACKGROUND With high backlog of cataract blindness in the developing countries sutureless high volume cataract surgery is preferred surgical technique. OBJECTIVE To report the intraoperative complications of high volume sutureless cataract surgery at secondary level eye care centre of Nepal. METHOD This prospective study consisting 1087 eyes that underwent manual small incision cataract sur...

PURPOSE To study the effect of cataract surgery through 3.2 mm superior incisions on corneal aberrations with 2 types of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with an aspherical design. SETTING Instituto de Optica, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, and Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Madrid, Spain. METHODS Corneal topography of 43 eyes was obtained before and after small corneal incisi...
