Comments are made on the method of removing the anterior capsule during the performance of extracapsular cataract operations. The difficulty of performing this manoeuvre adequately is emphasised. Observations carried out during the postoperative period by means of the slit-lamp revealed some hitherto undescribed changes in the capsule. The edge of the anterior capsule can be clearly seen and lo...

Background and objectives: Cataract is common in aging populations, causes blurry vision. Once it interferes with daily activity, treated surgically may lead to complications such as posterior capsule rupture (PCR). The present study aims calculate the rate of PCR determine its correlation age hypertension. Methods: This retrospective was conducted between 31st August, 2016 30th December, 2018 ...

Surgically induced diffuse scleritis (SIDS) is a recognised but less well reported cause of pain and reduced vision following cataract surgery. We have previously reported on complications of conventional extracapsular cataract extraction in which SIDS was the second most common. Recently, we conducted an audit of patients who underwent phacoemulsification cataract extraction to compare the inc...

Corneal stromal overgrowth (retrocorneal membrane, fibrous overgrowth) is one of the common complications of penetrating keratoplasty (Kurz and D'Amico, I968). As a postoperative complication of cataract extraction leading to enucleation, however, it is less well recognized. Few case reports exist in the literature, and Duke-Elder (i969) fails to cite stromal overgrowth as a complication ofcata...

PURPOSE To present the cataract surgery practice pattern among the ophthalmic surgeons in hospitals managed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Malaysia. DESIGN Secondary data analysis on Malaysian Cataract Surgery Registry (CSR). METHODS The Malaysian CSR collected data on cataract surgeries done at all the ophthalmology departments in MOH from year 2002 to 2004 (paper-based) and 2007 to 20...

Method: Cataract surgery was performed after controlling the intraocular pressure in patients presenting with acute phacomorphic glaucoma. Intraocular lenses were inserted in the bag after conventional extracapsular cataract extraction. Patients with minimum follow up of one year were analyzed for the study. Corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure and any complications of surgery were rec...

We report three cases of extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation in two patients with anterior megalophthalmus. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of intraocular lens implantation in this rare condition.
