purpose: to assess the results of combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction by extracapsular extraction versus phacoemulsification and to compare outcomes and complications. methods: in this interventional retrospective study, 76 eyes that had undergone triple surgery were included. cataract surgery was done in two different methods of extracapsular extraction and phacoemulsific...

purpose : cataract surgery is the most common ocular surgery worldwide and in modern era of phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc iol) implantation, refractive aspects of surgery is as important as the surgery itself. after the iol implantation, the anterior chamber depth (acd) is increased and the iridiocorneal angle is widened. these changes should be considered for ...

purpose: to compare the efficacy and safety of two local anesthetic methods; retrobulbar anesthesia and parabulbar anesthesia using ptfe intravenous cannula without needle in extracapsular cataract surgery. method: a randomized prospective partially blind study was conducted on 66 eyes of 66 patients with senile cataract who were scheduled for ecce and pc iol surgery. after randomization, 35 pa...

Introduction: Cataract surgery is a common surgery, especially among the elderly, and the choice of anesthesia medications is critical in such patients.
