Cataract surgery may be one of medicine’s greatest achievements, providing treatment for an otherwise blinding condition. These surgeries are among the most common operative procedures performed worldwide and also successful. The advancements that have been made in cataract management exemplify progress has field as a whole. Moreover, story evolution is fascinating. From humble origins with cou...

Background: Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of pre-corneal tear film that results in ocular discomfort, visual disturbance and instability, with potential damage to the surface. The aim work was evaluate surface alterations related cataract surgery either phacoemulsification or extracapsular extraction surgeries.
 Methods: This prospective observational study included 60 patie...

Removal of the crystalline lens is associated with a substantial increase in the rate of retinal tears and detachments. Retinal detachment (RD) occurs in 2 to 3% of eyes following intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE), 0.5 to 2 % of eyes following extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) but is believed to occur in a smaller percentage of eyes following phacoemulsification. RD frequently occ...

By administering fluorescein intravenously to 95 patients we calculated the ratio of fluorescein concentration in the vitreous at the time of its peak level compared with the estimated unbound concentration of fluorescein in the plasma at the same time. We studied 12 normal phakic and 83 aphakic eye approximately two months, one year, and more than two years after cataract extraction. All the e...

Crystalline lens dislocation and zonular dialysis during intraocular surgery are recognised features of the pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). A case is reported in which zonular dialysis occurred in both eyes during extracapsular cataract extraction. In particular surgery was complicated by difficulty in performing anterior capsulotomy. Careful preoperative assessment and peroperative technique...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the indications, safety, benefits, disadvantages and advantages, and the visual outcomes for simultaneous bilateral cataract surgery (SBCS) under general anesthesia. METHODS This retrospective case review pertained to a period spanning from June 1998 through June 2005 inclusively, and comprised of 27 consecutive patients (54 eyes) that underwen...

Background/Aim. Cataract surgery is one of the most often performed surgical interventions. The predominant method in Western countries phacoemulsification, while developing countries, extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) remains popular. aim study was to evaluate cost-effectiveness these two techniques from provider?s perspective if operation complications were outcome interest. Methods. d...

Infectious keratitis is the major cause of vision threatening condition and leading corneal blindness in developing countries. Therapeutic keratoplasty procedure for terminating or improving an actively infectious disease. This study was carried out to determine outcome therapeutic infective at R.M. Kedia eye hospital. retrospective where all cases that underwent TPK active from May 2019 April ...

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...

AIMS/BACKGROUND Posterior capsular opacification is the most common postoperative complication of extracapsular cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to attempt to inhibit this secondary cataract formation by using mitomycin (an antimitotic drug). METHODS A solution containing mitomycin was used to perform hydrodissection (with a 5 minute pause) during extracapsular lens extraction ...
