This is a prospective clinical assay that included six patients who were diagnosed with penetrating corneal injury, traumatic cataract, and posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB). Following anterior segment repair and extraction of traumatic cataract by clear cornea phacoemulsification, a standard 25-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy was performed to find and release the ...

PURPOSE To analyze the 6-month anterior and posterior topographic changes of the cornea after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty. METHODS Orbscan topographies of 22 eyes from 21 patients with corneal decompensation were retrospectively analyzed: 11 eyes received a 9-mm scleral access incision (large-incision group) and 11 eyes received a 5-mm scleral access incision (small-incision group)...

PURPOSE To describe endokeratophakia in which a small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) lenticule from a myopic patient is implanted into a recipient eye through a small incision to correct hyperopia. METHODS A 23-year-old aphakic woman presented following cataract surgery to remove a childhood congenital cataract with hyperopia of +12.00 -1.50 × 155, corrected distance visual acuity of c...

PURPOSE To compare the astigmatism, high order aberrations, and optical quality of the cornea after microincision (approximately 1.7 mm) versus small incision approximately 3.2 mm) cataract surgery at Eye Center, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. METHODS This prospective, randomized clinical study included microincision cataract surgery and small incision cataract surgery performed on 60 ...

PURPOSE To describe the safety and efficacy of removing posteriorly dislocated lens fragments with the use of intravitreal ultrasonic fragmentation through a limbal, clear cornea self-sealing incision. METHODS Patients presenting with posteriorly luxated nuclei were enrolled in this prospective case series. Preoperative examination included evaluation of the corneal endothelium by means of sp...

incision used in modern-day phacoemulusification cataract surgery. CCI allows sutureless surgery, induces little astigmatism and provides fast visual rehabilitation1,2. Over the past decade the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery has increased. There has been much debate on whether the increasing use of clear cornea incision has contributed to this3-5. A recent study speculated ...
